Hey Depthman!

This might be a useful thread if you're looking for a carrier: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=319

In the USA, the best brand for a carrier is Versahaul. You can get them in stores locally for $350+, but they'll last a lifetime.

You can find cheaper ones elsewhere online, I've ordered from these folks before: http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Car ... MC400.html

I got this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/400-lb-rec ... 99721.html

It's a good carrier, the pcx fits nicely. It only has one minor problem... The knobs are plastic. Two of them broke the first time i used it. They are easily replaced with better knobs from the hardware store though.

I wrote up a full review on the harbor freight website.

I also noticed my local walmart has an all steel carrier in store. I don't know anything about it though.

Also read maddiedog's how-to. It has excellent tips for securing the bike.

Thanks, guys! First I'll have to get the "receiver" on the ol' minivan.
