Swede Lobster is off the scale

This will be my first post on the forum.
I bought an -03 H2 some month ago and is working on fixing it up the way I want it.
There is a sticker on the hitch specifying a load of about 700 lbs (don't remember the exact figure)
I will build a stand for my MX bike within some weeks using the hitch as the attach point.
My plan is to make a modular stand (one expansion part) so I can add one more bike when so needed.
I "tried" the hitch by inserting a 40" long square iron profile and put my weight on the end end of it.. It felt very, very sturdy compared to just standing on the trailer hook of any compact car.. I weigh about 170.

I guess that two dirtbikes on an H2 is a piece of cake in spite of the leverage, especially if it has the airsuspension(?)

I improved the leverage once on a compact car by having a tube on the bikestand going forward under the car up against the floor. That eliminates the torsional force that wants to twist the hitch.

Will post a pic of my bikestand creation when it is finished if someone is interested.
