Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to attach the Autolinx Travel Case?
You need a standard 1.25" hitch receiver...Unless you're using the LinxQuad, which utilizes a 2" receiver. We can provide both.
Suppose the receiver on my motorcycle is verticle?
Believe it or not, that's more often the case... Don't sweat it, we sell a simple device that converts it to a horizonal receiver. See order page.
What are my color options... can the case be painted?
The case comes in one color (silver/gray). HDPE is a material that does not lend itself to paint, and we make no claims to such. That said, customers have been known to receive satisfactory results by utilizing a professional paint source (i.e., auto-body shop). We recommend you consult a professional before attempting to paint your Autolinx case.
Do they make a hitch for my car or bike?
More than likely, but check here www.hitch-web.com. Trikes and bikes check here: www.dauntlessmotors.com. Then call us for the best price.
Isn't the hitch going to ruin the "look" of my sports car?
Probably not, most are designed to be inconspicuous.
My bike doesn't have a hitch...what's that gonna cost me?
Motorcycle kits start as low as $160 + freight...depending on the model. We don't stock these kits, but we can save you $$ by arranging shipment directly from the source.
Doesn't the Autolinx cover the rear license plate?
Yes, as do bike racks and other hitch oriented accessories. We're sure you'll be tempted to leave it on but it's designed for temporary transport. If you're hyper-concerned, you may easily attach a copy of your tag to the case facade by using velcro or an adhesive back packing slip pouch.
The case to adapter interface seems tight?
It's designed to be snug and will loosen after a few insertions
Will there be "play" in the hitch receiver... and what can I do about it?
Slight variations in receivers (design, manufacturer, etc..) determine the amount of "toggle" they allow. Our Stabilizing Hitch-pin totally eliminates this toggle and provides a solid framework for your Autolinx. See how it works...
How do I set the combination lock?
Easily!...(view here)
