Transporting a SpeedMachine

Is there a car rack out there that can easily carry an SM? I currently use a THULE trunk rack, but
the frame tubes of the SM are too fat for proper seating. Any suggestions, and or recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Look at the Sportworks hitch mount rack. The bike's tires fit in a couple of hoops and spring loaded
hooked arms fit over the tires so nothing touches the frame. My V-REX and your SM have the same size
wheels, so the SW rack could be a good solution for you too.

I have used a Pendle tow-bar mounting rack to transport mine in the past -

American tow hitches is different.

If you are happy with a trunk-mounted rack, a cheaper (department store) rack may work. These often
have simpler support arms without an integrated attachment mechanism. My $30 'Pep Boys'
trunk-mounted model works better for my BikeE and TE than the $130 Yakima trunk-mount model I tried.

On the other hand, the tray-mount receiver hitch or roof rack models from Yakima and Thule work
very well.
