Our optional loading ramp is fabricated from 5005-H34 aluminum and features a purpose-designed curved profile that raises the rear wheel quickly as the motorcycle is loaded. This helps level the motorcycle before it reaches the transition between the ramp and carrier, significantly reducing the chance of low fairings or bodywork contacting the pivot point.
