So I am going to cut off the single hitch from the center of the dirtbike rack and put two on either side to line up with the two receivers. Can't we use two universal boxes that just have re mounting plate welded on top rather than the traditional tubular brace that's car-specific? Would you mind taking a few angles of pictures of your receivers mounted to the frame underside of the car? It would be much appreciated!!
DriveThru - I think you may have an issue with your plan, if I understand what your saying. The Crossfire is max loaded at 450lbs, this includes the passengers and luggage. By hanging your dirtbike on the back of the car you are nearing max load and putting the wieght on a lever arm against the suspension. It's your call but I would recomend a small trailer so that only 30lbs or so is transferred to the suspension. I have no information on universal boxes, but it sounds like it will work. There is no real frame to speak of, but plenty of room to work when installed your hitch. I am out of the area for the time being, but will post some better photos when I return later in the month. Go Navy!
