Where would I get this installed??

I plan on getting this installed in my T250. So that I can travel with my motorcycle across the US. Set up camp somewhere and ride the local area. Not sure what kind of place would install it. A dealership seems like it might, but at an astronomical price. A machine shop? Just call shops and see what they say? What would I search for? I live in the Midwest. West side of Ohio. I could take it to Cincinnati, Indianapolis, FT wayne, Columbus, maybe even as far as Chicago.

I dont know if I would try this myself. Would it need structural support underneath?

And if anyone recommends a better version that would be great. I just snapped this off the web, and havent found a different version.

Edit: I may still just use ramps, but I am worried about keeping the bike locked down in the van. Plus tipping over while getting in and out of the van. Ive seen the videos. Last thing I need is a busted bike just loading/unloading it.

Freaking Ducati, man.

Rant, complaint, bitch and moan, whatever you want to call it. I love my Diavel. I swear I'll never sell it. Until today when I was about ready to pull the trigger on all the parts to do the 36,000 mile maintenance (valves, timing belt, spark plugs, coolant flush, oil change, $1000 in all), and I find out the rear hub is probably toast. I can do it myself, but the hub costs $979 by itself and is not serviceable.

I just sold a motorcycle that barely got ridden that will cover the lions share of it all, but dammit I was looking forward to having the safety net.

I'll probably never sell it, but it's tempting on nights like tonight. $2000 in DIY maintenance costs on a bike worth $6000 or so.
