Does the brace work on a DS/DSR?   Dos it / can it damage the fender?  It looks like it will put stress on the bottom of the fenders well

I think I have a class iv hitch but know it is at least a class three so the toungue weight is not a problem.  My biggest concern was the loading and unloading as I'm not as young as I used to be and the DSR is a little taller than the SR so was concerned on the difficulty of loading and unloading without losin balance and dumping it off the ramp 1/2 way up.  Once loaded I'll strap the heck out of it

The cheaper one you don't have to go backward to unload but ramps look smoother and maybe a little lower to ground on the 600# one.  The more expensive one also has the tie downs extended away from bike which I think would help with the tank issue y'all have mentioned

Thanks for insight

Looks like you got it set up just right and thanks for feedback.   The loading ramp was a big concern as the DSR is rather tall like a straight up dirt bike and at 430# it's not light. I dread loading and unloading it on any ramp which is why I wanted some recommendations.  I have a Z-71 which adds height to loading.

Wondering if anyone here has a truck bumper hitch cycle hauler that they recommend or recommend against.
I see two the fit my needs a 100$ 500lbs capacity dirt bike hauler and a 600# street bike hauler.  I like the dirt bike hauler as it appears to be able to roll off forwards but looks marginal on durability. 
I brought my 16 DSR home on regular ATV trailer and a strap came off and luckily it fell onto its kick stand,  major pucker factor, so looking at more dedicated smaller hauler.

The height of the DSR is a little concern for loading/unloading by myself any input appreciated

Thanks Brian,  I wasn't  expecting that much information in the logs, that thing notes everything.  Thanks for link as well will try to play with it and see what I can cipher out of it.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2016 DSR display blank and log files
« on: August 15, 2016, 07:14:21 AM »
Anyone have recent problems with display LCD blank?,  saw an older post from 2015 just wondered if this is common?   It came back one time after being on the charger all night but been blank last 6-7 times I've tried it.   

I emailed the log files to myself and zero but can't get mac to open them at all tried 3 difent apps with no luck, haven't had whole lot of time to  look for other apps just wondering.  Only had bike 8 days now and trying to TS as much as I can as I live 4 hours from nearest dealer.
