Has anyone yet bought the Black Horse grille guard? $287 at AutoAnything.com
I want to see the installation plans. I'd like to carry a 220 lb motorcycle on the nose and this would provide something to weld to.

I can tell you from the picture of those brackets that will not be safe to bounce a 220 lb motorcycle from! You would be much better off to get under the front with a professional welder, some rectangular tubing, bolts, and extend it back a bit along the frame and then extend it out front and weld brackets on a motorcycle carrier from Harbor Flight to slide into the rectangular tube. Pull a couple of pins, slide out the carrier and leave the stubs of the rectangular section tubes just under the bumper.

Have to say that's the nicest looking guard I've seen yet for a PM.

I wouldn't count of it as a "real" guard though. It mostly looks to be a cosmetic item. But then most of the items (bull bars, ect.) made for the front of vehicles are about the same...

There's no way that would hold a motor cycle without a lot of modifications.

I contacted Black Horse to see what their install instructions are. Pretty sad as they don't have it on the webpage, or I sure couldn't find it... They don't even recognize RAM as a brand...

I think too carrying a motorcycle in the nose is not a good idea as the front end is loaded with weight already.
