It's convenient. I use this for my Suzuki Boulevard M50. I have used it once, for about 400 miles round trip. I had to drive around town first to get comfortable with it, but 70ish on the interstate worked just fine.

The loops for the tie downs are small, and I do not trust them. I did use 4 ratcheting tie downs- one for each corner of the bike. Instead of hooking the tie down through the welded loops, I inserted the hook into the end of the square tube where the loop is welded. That held just fine.

I am concerned with the tray that holds the bike. It has bent down a little on the end where the tire sits. I may attach a piece of angle to it to reinforce it a little more. Also, as someone else did, I plan on replacing the bolts with a stronger grade.

My wife helped me load it the first time- we pushed it up the ramp backwards. The second time, I started it, and walked it up front first and let the engine do the work.Unloading is a breeze.

The carrier is too short to store in the back of my F150 Super Crew, but that's ok.

It's heavy. UPS left it at my front door, and I thought I'd just hoist it onto my shoulder and carry it to the garage for assembly. Wasn't happening that day. I can connect it to my truck by myself, but prefer to have a little help. BTW- the packaging was practically destroyed, leaving thousands of tiny Styrofoam beads all over my sidewalk and grass. The end of the ramp that connects to the tray was sticking out of the box end, and was bent, but not to the point where it was unusable.

As mentioned, instructions are a joke, but if you are going to be using this, you should be mechanically inclined enough to be able to figure it out.

I probably will add lights- maybe magnetic or permanent. The bike blocks my truck lights, and it really could use them. Just do not want to drill into it.

Upgraded the bolts,washers and locknuts to grade 8. Only powder coated so applied a rust inhibitor based paint other than that, great product.

Great product. Instructions need revision. Fully supported a 300 lb. scooter (Piaggio) over thousands of miles on the class III hitch of an RV.

I have a 2006 Ducati multistrada 620, not a heavy bike. This unit is wobbly front to back and side to side.I have it on my 2000 4runner, using a $20 hitch tightener. Had to strap the bike from the center outside to my roof rack to prevent wobbles front to back (of car). I guess you get what you pay for. Oh, and came with a bunch of worn spots where the paint was scratched off in shipping. Oh well.

Works great. Carried a Buell (approx 500lbs) from WV to FL, no problem. I have also used it to carry a lighter Hypermotard and a Suzuki Savage. again, no issues. The anti tip bracket isn't the best design, so I purchased the StowAway hitch tightener, which can be found on Amazon too, and works much better.
