@KungFooBob For some reason your lower case mention hasn't worked TP.

Armitage i think the company is called who make scooter and bike racks.
I have an Armitage transverse trailer to tow my K1300 with the motorhome. Really nice people and the trailers quality so would expect their racks to be equally well made.

It's not so much the rack taking the weight, more does your MAM/axle mass allow it.
Rack and bike will be @150kg, all on the back axle, which will make the steering 'interesting'

There is a formula based on weight and overhang length from rear axle.

As long as TinPan stays in the driver's seat,weight on the overhang won't matter. :thumbup:
