Question:
Does anyone make a swing away carrier that can carry a dual sport motorcycle like a Suzuki DRZ..350-400lbs

Expert Reply:
Hey Captain! The highest capacity swing away adapter we have is the Kuat Pivot XD Heavy Duty Swing Away Hitch Extender # KU37KR. This can handle up to 350 lbs. We don't have a specific motorcycle carrier with a swing away so an adapter is the closest option.
You have to account for the weight of whatever carrier you're using as well, so if the combined weight with the Suzuki is more than 350 lbs I'm sorry to say there is nothing available. Also, the use of an adapter like this will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% so you need to make sure the hitch can handle it.
