I am planing to fab this myself so I am looking for some installed picture of this similar towing style on a passenger vehicle to serve as a reference. It would be great if anyone has this on a Honda/Acura passenger vehicle.

This is what I am looking for....more of this kind of picture would be awesome

I need to see if i can tow with my evo too

An Integra, and most compact-to-midsized cars, can tow 1500lbs. Yes, you won't be able to accelerate as fast.

Also, I imagine there's a possibility of damage to the rear wheel and transmission if the wheel, chain, and spockets are turning.

Yes..i suppose you can put the rear on a dolly?? I'll post some picture after the fab work and you can decide if it will work on your evo.

I'd feel safer with the whole motorcycle up on a trailer, like the mc-trailer from UHaul. An Integra, and most compact-to-midsized cars, can tow 1500lbs. Yes, you won't be able to accelerate as fast.

It is possible but I don't imagine it being any different then driving the bike on two wheel.

I would use that lift only for the purpose of moving a race bike through the pits. I'd never use that thing over the road.

Then I would have to register, plates, etc.... I could make something like this for 50 in material. I think the mc trailer is like 350-400?

Am I missing something? If you have the bike on neutral...only the tranny shaft will be spinning and there is alway fluid in there. Even if the bike was in gear ( don't know why one would do this), the crankshaft will spin and that would pump the motor oil.

I can't say that I am an expert motorcycle mechanic.... but if it is anything like a car...this is how it would work. Correct me if I am wrong here.

i;d never let my bike dangle off the back of my car like that

i towed my bike with my Type R and a much heavier trailer than the Harbour Freight one, and it towed just fine

A trailer will work much better. It seems like those you are talking about are designed for trucks or bigger cars

Full throttle til' you see God, THEN BRAKE!

I have found no people for killing time, so I've found time for killing people.

or a beater truck.

No its not...unless its in gear. Its like a bicycle that dosent have the crank fixed to the sprocket. You can pedal backwards and the bike still roll forward.

You plan to put almost the complete weight of the motorcycle a foot or two beyong the bumper of your lowered integra? Good luck with that. A trailer will work much better. It seems like those you are talking about are designed for trucks or bigger cars

Say what? your only elevating and holding the front wheel. On a 400lb bike your putting prob 100-150lbs max down I would say. Probably less.
