Dirtbike Carrier Unit Adapter

Although I was eager to get to work on Yoda, I had a chore to do first this weekend.  I have made a verbal agreement to sell my dirtbike with the Carrier Rack Unit I made last spring; but, the guy has a woosy hitch--1-1/4" receiver instead of the standard 2" that the unit was designed for.  So I spent Saturday morning at the scrap yard and found a 3" round tube and a 1-1/4" solid steel bar to make an adapter.  This set up will actually work better than my original design, with the tube fitting inside the tube on the CRU instead of the square tube extender I use with with the larger receiver.
