Alright...so, I've searched the forum, and found a few mentions of trailer hitches for the 202, but, nothing more than that. I'm a biker who likes to get muddy, but, also likes to keep a clean car, if you catch my drift...Anyways, I was wondering which places sell hitches, or square mounts for our cars. I've looked on the draw-tite website, as well as the hide-a-hitch site. I'm not looking to tow a trailer, just to haul 4 bikes or so.

i saw one for sale here in nz on trademe a while ago, and it was what you described, but it required some custom fitting, you may be able to find a enginering shop to custom fit one for you for a reasonable price, and then get a trailer wiring plug off mercedes id guess.
good luck

There is a company called Da'lan that makes hitches for the 202

I think that their US office is located in Mass (if memory serves me correctly)

Should be about $250-300 for the class II hitch from them - I am going the same route on my car for almost the same reason - take my streetbike to the track...

Excelent. Thanks for the help. I really don't need to tow stuff, just want to keep my DH, DS, and trials bikes out of my trunk.

dont hitches look really bad on cars....i mean...i would rather carry the bike with one hand out the window than put a hitch on

Yeah, they do look bad, but, I'm not gonna have a ginormous silver ball off the back, just a flat black square, with a rubber cover. It won't look too bad, and really, I'd rather be able to carry my bikes outside, rather than inside.

Downhill and Dual Slalom. Right now, I'm riding on a stock class Brisa B26 with magura HS33 brakes and the usual trials compliments...

I don't do a lot of MX, but, I have been known to steal my friends bikes for that;)
