    Question VS Commodore towing

    Hey guys,

    I was just wondering if there was anyway to make it so that a standard VS exec could get some kind of addon so that it could have that 50mm box hitch addon so that I could slot in a bike rack on the back? Anyone know of such a thing or is it even possible? Going to be towing a dirtbike so tossing up whether it's worth it or just find a cheap trailer and strap her in.

    Thanks

    only thing I know of is to get a hayman reece style tow bar - these have the 50mm box hitch that you are after and you will then have a tow bar for towing a trailer too

    Depends on how heavy the bike is - would be much simpler and cheaper to not have a trailer behind to worry about so I'd research strapping it on the back of the VS....do a Google on bike racks.
    Here's one for $28 http://www.crazysales.com.au/bicycle...ikes_p663.html

    Thanks for the input guys, the bike im towing is a Dirt bike (sorry forgot to mention) and it came with a free rack that slides into a 50mm hitch but the standard exec i got doesn't have the attachment and that's why i wasn't sure if it was worth chucking the little extra in to get some kind of conversion if it's available to give me that square 50mm connector or just to spend it on a trailer
