I have seen bikes carried on pin boxes. I have searched the forum here and found several people who posted pictures but only found where one person made there own mount. Are they any available commercially ?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

We had our pin box 6 inch reciever (which mounts via the use of the 4 rubber plugged holes in the MorRyde pin box) custom fabricated from a templet that we made. He charged $75 for it and did a A+ professional job. We love it. Phillip

I've seen one of those. Really nice but if I remember right it was over $600.00..I'm thinking I can buy lots of throw away bikes from Goodwill for that and give them away before we leave the campground.

That's Funny
You can also make the mistake that many have made and attach bike to a flimsy mount on your bumper. You won't have to worry about throwing them away because they will be scattered on the highway along with the flimsy rack long before you arrive at the CG.
I have a Arvika rack. They are not cheap. However they work well and are comparable in price to a decent rear mount bike rack, a 2" receiver and cost of welding required to mount receiver

I am one of the ones that made my own mount. I looked everywhere for over a year trying to find one. The only commercially made one was the one you see in previous posts. Arvika. I made my mount, then bought a commercially made rack for mine to fit in. Mine is a 3 bike rack, the Arvika is up to a 4 bike rack. That is the reason I made my own. I bought the rack I wanted and used the dimensions to make my mount. Any metal fabricating shop should be able to help you out. The Arvika rack is expensive in my opinion, however I have seen two in person and they are nice. I have less than $35 in my mount, and $145 in my rack.

why not go to etrailer.com and look at the extensions for the 2 inch receptacle. I will probably end up getting one of them and fab the rest of the lash up.
