Just strap the rear tire down to the rail. Been tote-in bikes for many, many miles, with a 4" rail and never had a problem. A lil' bike like the xr350 should be no prob. Just be sure and tie a reel good knot. -Knot ps: Its a good idea to tie the front tire too!

Thank for the info. The biggest problem is getting the tires onto the rails-wider rails would make this a bunch easier. -----Original Message----- From: EPhilride@...

I've heard the best reports from dickhead users who have the blower attachment mounted. They seem to uniformly report that they are satisfied with its performance.
