Hey everyone I'm new to the forum but seems like a wealth of knowledge here
So me and my partner have a MAN TGL that we've converted to a motorhome after years of being cramped into vans! We now have a Yamaha XTZ660 and although did build a garage in the back of the lorry it is not high enough for the motorbike. We have a Dhollandia 1ton fold away tail lift on the back of the lorry and are thinking we could make a bike rack out of it. We would halve the width of the tail lift so as it doesn't stick out too far and to loose some weight. Seems a fairly simple job to either put some cut outs in the floor of the lift or bolt on some steel channel to hold the wheels. Then bolt on some fixing points for ratchet straps and attach a trailer board if needed (need to look into the laws on this, does anyone know?) Lorry has rear under run and I don't think we will need to add another as I believe that law doesn't apply to motorhomes. Dhollandia say the tail lift should not be used to carry goods while in transit but a 180kg bike? Will it really be a problem?

I guess I'm looking for anyone who has done this or similar, anyone who knows a bit more than us and realises maybe this isn't the best idea. Any helpful suggestions or just some support to say we are doing the right thing!

Thanks
