Steel Motorcycle Carrier 500 LB Scooter Dirt Bike Hauler Hitch Mount Rack Ramp Anti Tilt Anti Wobble

Easy to assemble until you get to the anti-wobble block, the instructions don’t make any sense for that part. I finally figured out that you need to somehow keep the block in place inside the tube while you line everything up in the receiver hitch then they want you to use the supplied bolt as the pin, that screws in. I didn’t use it because that’s basically impossible to do, they should have tack welded the block in place, but it works fine without it. I have a 2500 truck with the larger receiver hitch that requires a spacer so I don’t think it would have fit anyway. Like I said, it works fine without the anti wobble block, I think that’s just a nice to have. I just used this to for a 60 mile trip carrying a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 that weighs about 400 lbs, it worked great. I used 5 ratchet straps on the bike and it was very secure, no wobble or excessive shaking, I felt completely safe using it and we had no issues. I was sure to hook the straps to the chain holes on the receiver hitch as a replacement for the anti-wobble block and that was a good idea. It was very solid that way and since it was strapped on both sides it worked very well, I experienced no wobble at all. I can’t speak to the longevity of the product since I haven’t had it very long but so far so good. I’m satisfied and very happy with the value for the money. Just be prepared for confusion with the assembly instructions, it’s the typical instructions were an after-thought thing - just look at the photo of the finished product while putting it together and apply some common sense and you’ll get it. Assembly took me about 20 minutes, plus another 20 minutes trying to figure out the wobble block thing before giving up on that. For a trust worthy carrier that’s value for the money I recommend this.

Does the job. I transported my CRF250 without a problem on a compact SUV (subaru forester). Two hours trip, 100 miles, speed up to 80mph. My hitch mount is low and had no problem with the ramp. Even unloaded the bike without the ramp right onto sidewalk curb. All you will need is 4 tie downs to secure the bike to the rack. Pros: Fairly light but sturdy. Easy assembly. Good price, I paid about 85,00 Cons: Anti tilt devise does not attach to mount, you have to align the holes and make sure pin goes thrugh both the carrier and the anti tilt device every time you install the carrier to the car. Does not have lights or reflectors. I got some reflector tape and glued to the back and sides of mount. I also use reflecting tie downs. Ramps does not click firmly to carrier when loading/unloading bike. Yes, I recommend this product.

For the price it is amazing. I used it the other week to transport a DRZ400S (320lbs) 2 hours total. It didn't wobble much. The finish is good. It took about 15 minutes to put together. The "anti-wobble" is questionable. I am not even sure if it works or how it could work. The instructions for the anti-wobble installation is poor at best. The ramp is way too short and on my Honda Pilot (not a tall SUV) I can not get it up the ramp unless I use the engine to push it up. Pushing it up on my own was not going to happen due to the angle of the ramp, which is caused by the ramp being so short. The ramp also fell off several times when loading. The lip of the ramp is not a solid way to hold it to the carrier, since the sides of the lip on the carrier are open. If the bike is not perfectly inline with the ramp, the ramp will fall off. The ramp is also not wide enough. The way the ramp is mounted to the carrier during transport is not confidence inspiring. 2 wings nuts is not sufficient. I put the ramp in the my SUV when transporting. The carrier is heavy and when you mixing that with installing the anti-wobble, which has to be installed while mounting the carrier it makes it frustrating. The anti-wobble just slides down the square tube, nothing holds it in place while you are mounting it. So to install the anti-wobble you must place it perfectly and not tilt the carrier while sliding it into the mount. Not as easy as it sounds since the carrier is heavy and awkward. I will be making some modifications. I will build or extend the ramp. The lip where the ramp connects to will have sides added to it to hold the ramp better.

I'm amazed they can price this so cheap. It's very heavy duty and I would prefer this over the aluminum version any time of the day! The all-metal construction is the biggest PLUS and it's so cheap how can you go wrong. I used it with my 2017 KTM 350 EXC and it fit perfectly. took some time to get the straps to work great, thus leaving 4-stars for ease of assembly. However, after a few years, it's still a perfect unit and I'm happy with the carrier.

This carrier is of excellent quality and craftsmanship for twice the money. It is very sturdy and I am using it for a heavy electric bike and Yamaha 650 cafe bike. The ramp makes loading the electric bike easy at 80 pounds. You need to plan ahead for the short ramp depending on your vehicle hitch height to load a motorcycle. As for the bozos complaining about the 8 bolts protruding into the tire area, you have them in backwards. Install the bolt heads toward the center. The packaging is not heavy enough for the weight so expect some shipping carton damage depending on the mood of your UPS driver that day.

Overall I am happy, I took this on a quick spin (6 miles) and it seemed fine behind my SUV. I got this for my truck since I do not always have access to ramps and since it is a small bed I did not want to carry them with me while still having a lot of other stuff I need for a day riding. Assembly was not difficult, you can not torque down on the bolts too much or will will bend the frame, even with some added plating. The anti wobble seems ok, kind of a pain to use but does the trick. I do have a couple complaints. First, I had the drill the holes larger for my tie downs as they have a rubber coating. My pro taper tie downs with swivel carabiners are the way to go but they are not cheap tie downs. Second, the ramp it comes will is quite narrow, I have a 120 rear on my bike so it does not fit inside the channel when loading, I had to bend them out some to make it work. I'll see how it does getting into some of the Forest I ride in that has jeep trails to get to the single track, that will be the true test and will update the review when I do. UPDATE: I had to torque it back down after the first trip, it was pretty floppy when I made it to my riding area. Where the bolts go through to hold the frame together, that is already getting some stress marks on it. I am going to cut some thicker plates to put on there to bolt through and sandwich. Maybe I will bust out the welder and really make this thing strong, it could use more bracing for sure. I think I am going to add some lights to it also, my bike blocks a good part of my tail lights on my truck and my SUV

It worked great carrying my KLX from Riverside to home. No real wobble or shaking. Super easy to assemble. Bring a friend when you put it on or take it of your truck / SUV.

Works surprising well for the price! There are more expansive ones but I only needed this for a couple times moving my Suzuki GSXR600 and did not want to spend hundreds of $s. At first I was dubious about the stability; however, after some local roads and highway driving my confidence in it was increased. Obviously, you have to be careful with any aggressive turns, accelerating or braking but if you drive it carefully (as if you were pulling a trailer) you'll have no issues. The short ramp length was an issue since my sport bike fairings would have hit the crest if the ramp. I needed to prop the bottom of the ramp a few inches to clear the bottom of the fairings. I suggest that you also put a couple straps from the corners for the carrier to the top of your truck bed for added lateral support and piece of mind. 4 stars since the price is right for the features. It would have 5 stars at this price point if the instructions were more detailed and the ramp was longer. Pros: o Priced right o Not difficult to assemble o Works; especially for dirt bikes, scoots and 'higher' clearance bikes. Cons: o Ramp can be longer to clear lower sport bikes o Holes for straps are a bit small for larger ratchet straps o No place to secure the ramp to the holder to precent the ramp from coming loose and falling during loading/unloading. o Anti-sway block did not come with instructions. I figured it out with a bit of thought but some people may have a harder time.
