i am in kind of a bind...i cant find a good, CHEAP solution to hauling my bike to go riding...my car is a clunker, its a 1990 ford taurus 3 ltr..piece of junk but at least its something... anyways, i need to find a way to haul my precious motorcycle around and i was looking into hitch type carriers but all of them are for class III hitches, and mine is a lame class II, im looking for something cheaper than 200 bucks, is there any way i can modify the bike carrier?

thanks

3 rail trailer off of craigslist.

For $200, or less, you'd have to get a hitch from the salvage yard and have a trailer given to you...

It's winter time. Take the $200 you have now and put it aside. Add to it anything that you make, save, receive as gifts, etc. Pretty soon, you'll have enough to get a better vehicle.

For $200 (maybe have to throw another portrait of Ben Franklin in there) you can get a decent condition used 4x8 trailer, and pull it behind your car (you said you already have a class II hitch, which will work just fine for a small trailer).

Don't modify the carrier, they need a Class III for a reason...a Class II isn't structurally up to the task, nor are their mounting systems designed to handle the dead weight of a hitch hauler and bike (250-300+ lbs) being supported an extended distance from the hitch, not to mention the shock loading when hitting potholes, expansion joints, crappy road seams, etc.
