A rail (to make a single-rail bike carrier)

[Spiderman]

Edit: Title changed ... was "A steel dirtbike ramp"

Anybody got one laying around? It's for a project I have in mind - It won't remain a ramp for very long, and it seems like such a shame to destroy a new one.

TIA 8)

Bob,
I got a spare one you could have. Glenn #62

Thanks for the offer, Glenn, but after answering my PM maybe a regular ramp is NOT what I'm looking for after all. :oops:

I'm basically looking to add a small "rail" (think 3-rail trailer) to the front of my trailer so I can carry a smaller dirtbike (PW-80), so it's going to need a lip along each side to keep the wheels in place. What I had in mind was the small ramp that was included with the 3-rail trailer I used to have.

I have some other ideas that might work as well, but does anybody have anything that might work as a rail on its own?

Thanks again.

Bob, what width are you looking for? I have some steel "U" channel here at work in varying widths... might be perfect...

Hmmm... Glenn said he got his from Harbor Freight... I may have to do some more research. Thanks for pointing that out, Dion. 8)

You know me... When in doubt Harborfreight (or ACE Hardware) has it... HAHA

Hell I even built a nice air intake system from Lowes for my scoot under 15 bucks... haha Pushing out a big 3 ponies now. 8)

Hell I built my bike using those 2 stores.... :oops:

Bob, those are the ramps I have. Now I see what you are looking for. I still have it if interested. Glenn #62
