Looks like the gap, for your front wheel, on the carrier, is causing it to rest on the axle. Wasn't there spacer with the carrier to close the space, to fit your wheel size?
It is. They didn't have a spacer to shorten the gap. I'm going to have one cut, painted and bolted on. For the price of the carrier you would think they would include one.
That's a great color combo! Check carefully for any damage, but you're probably ok.

You can pick up a piece of all-thread from any decent hardware store and nut and washers to secure it. Cut to length (with room for nuts and washers) and drill holes opposite one another and secure to the rack.

Just one question...

Why do you carry your Vespa's around on the back of SUV's in America? In England, if we want to move our Vespa elsewhere, we just ride it....! Laughing emoticon
Maybe because Texas by it self, is nearly three times bigger than the U.K.
Who is the manufacture of your lift? Thanks!

That is a great idea! That will be my winter project. Thank you!

It is a Boss Motorcycle Carrier

Wish it was hydraulic. A real bear to manually lift the ramp and lock in place.
