I've seen some of those dollies that hold front wheel off ground in a vee frame, fitting on tow bar of car and in effect drag bike by it's front forks whilst rear wheel remains on the ground. Anyone any experience of them?
I have a device that clamps rigidly onto my tow bar and carries a box or other items on a frame; this is rated at 75kg and I am wondering if I was to remove RE's front wheel and clamp in a steel bar where the axle is removed from I could then secure this to tow bike.... mounting no problem as my device has a mounting that would take what amounts to an extended RE front axle.
I can keep the bike upright easily enough, and the tow would have articulation via the headstock bearing.
The geometry may lead to bike negative leaning when cornering, but this may be within acceptable limits as it will of course be unladen. I also thought that some strong bungees/spring between bike frame and tow bar may relieve some stress on forks?? I think front of Bullet would be within nose weight for car I have in mind.
Anyone tried it/thoughts/observations on what is just an idea at this stage,all welcome!
