    Motorcycle ramps used once. 9ft long by 40 inches wide

    I paid $405 for these ramps and they worked pretty good. I just dont use them enough to justify the cost and now I have roadside assistance from my insurance so I will be using them even less.

    here is a link to what i bought about a month ago

    I am looking to get $350 since I literally used them once. I previously owned the replica ramps that are similar to the black widow but they were no where near as sturdy nor did they bolt together. These ramps are well worth the money if you are constantly hauling your bike.

    My friend has the same ramps, and I have used them before, and they are excellent. A bit overkill for a sport bike, but are almost necessary for a heavy cruiser.

    I found with my old ramps, which were 8ft, I could of bottomed out the bike while loading. At 9ft long these help in that area, also its not as steep of a climb to get the bike in the truck.

    I've looked at those before, but my question is what do you do with the ramp while transporting? Seems awfully large to keep in the bed with the bike. Do they fit under the bike maybe?

    If bolted together i just strap them down straight up like the pic on top left. Its actually not to bad if you have a 6ft bed.

    Just make sure to inspect your tailgate cables ! When I was hauling my K12RS, I thought about making a quick addition to my hitch receiver to help support the large load on the tailgate when driving 800lbs. onto the truck.

    I'll take the frost heaves on a twisty road over a smooth slab any day of the week.
