I might be miles wrong but am guessing it should be the same as the nose weight of a trailer/caravan.
Just my assumption as the main weight pushes down on the towbar, fixed or removable
I think about 150 kg
No doubt someone with a LOT more knowledge than me will be along soon to correct this

Thanks for that
The bike and rack only weigh about 75 kg so don't see it being a problem.
Just getting the right kit to fit the rack too might be a challenge.

Hello
Did you weld a flange plate onto a detachable swan neck style towbar or can you buy a detachable unit with a flange plate on it?

That's from a fix towbar,and a good idea Wanted D4s non runners pm for competitive price.

Mobile or workshop,PM for details.
Just get a tow hitch reciever to plug in instead of the towball, and you can slot thatever you like into it. TLO can get you a new one.

That's what I have done so I can change between drop plates with a tow ball, and a NATO tow hitch on......wouldn't imagine a 50x50 square section with a relevant bike adapter would be any different as long as the rear cross member is in good condition and the receiver pin is fine.....G4OC Secretary
