Allen swing away bike carrier, almost free*--Gone!!!

Thanks all for the interest. Kalvarav came by to pick it up and will make a donation to the forum.

In my continued quest to clean up my garage I've got a barely used Allen 740RR swing away bike carrier. Its yours almost free*, local pickup only. I live in Cupertino, CA.

*almost free means you pay me nothing but I would very much appreciate you make a donation to the forum. Thank you for your support.

The unit will fit into a factory hitch with factory step bumper. (Some bike carriers don't fit because of the hitch recess caused by the step bumper, not a problem with a contour bumper.) When mounted but folded you can still open the rear door. When unfolded (and loaded with bikes) you cannot fully open the door unless you swing it away. (On my other van I use a 7in hitch extender to alleviate this problem. I don't tow with this van so there are no reduced tow limits for me while using a hitch extender.)

I bought it originally so that I could keep the bikes locked up and off the ground and swung away while I still have convenient access to the back doors.

Below are some picts. Any questions just ask.

If no other more deserving offers...

I don't ride but I support lot of bike events with Ham Radio. I have not been a sag driver simply because I didn't want to buy a carrier.

Free shipping? I'll take it if u can ship to UT for less than $100. I would get a lot of use out of it. Please PM me if still available.
