Got a little more gravity enhancement!

So I found these little suitcase weights. Right at 30 lbs each. Got em for a can't pass it up type of price.

I have had a receiver hitch on my 782 for awhile now so decided why not take a old straight hitch and make a hanger for them. Don't mind the welds it's been awhile lol

Nice score on the weights!

I don't know how many bolts holds your hitch on, but if it just mounts where the stock hitch does, I'm not sure I'd hang 120# off of it..... :bigthink:

its one of the ones that xtream sold. 5 total I think. And I've been considering using anot her rear plate to weld it to so I can utilise all the rear cover bolts

I'd attach it to the frame. You can use larger bolts up top, and you won't risk tearing up something on the rear end.

I may do that. I want to make a cover that wraps around anyway.

I have a rear hitch cover that came off of a 1864. (For a bagger. Looks like a 3pt plate without the rockshaft.) Been "modified" already, and it ain't purdy.... I'd sell it cheap if I can find it and your interested.

That'd be cool. If ya wanna think up a price and what not and send me a pm. I can't buy anything until after the holidays though. Kiddos stripped me this year

Cubby, nice addition to the 782 and the weight bracket looks good and robust. Just a thought, when you go to remount your receiver take a look at the ground clearance. For my terrain here in NY, I needed around 12 inches under my weight box so I didn't get hung up while transitioning hills and such.

No where near low enough to hang me up on anythong. Thanks for looking out though!
