Black Widow Steel Motorcycle Carrier with Ramp for 2-Inch Receiver, 600 lb Capacity - Hitch-Mounted Dirt Bike and Scooter Hauler with Grit-Coated Track and Anti-Rattle Device for SUVs and Trucks

I was very skeptical when buying it as it does not have a spot to really tie off to on the side of the bike other than the four rings. I put it together in about 14 minutes and mounted it to my vehicle. I then put the bike up on it by myself and strapped it down by myself. I am sure I over strapped it with 5 ratchets but I’m like that. If it needs four, it gets 5, etc. anyway, long story short, I kept going around ratcheting and straightening for about another 10 minutes and we’ll, it never shifted. I drove it about 600 miles over back country roads and highways and pot holes and road construction. It made it. It did the job. Lightweight? Not at all. Sturdy? Yes. Easy to put together? Yes and with the right tools it’s very quick. I did use a locking pin for my travel rather than the included pin and clip pin. Also, it does NOT come with straps. Get yourself some good ones that you feel comfortable with and have the proper load and break ratings. One thing about it though was trying to put the ramp on the storage pins, with how I strapped the base of the motor mount it brought the strap over the mounting location so I stored the ramp inside the vehicle, down the center of the vehicle so as to avoid being impaled if by chance we were rear ended.

Initial order never arrived and when replacement arrived it was a two bike aluminium type and was easily returned.Once correct single bike, steel carrier MC-600 arrived it was incredibly well packed. Unit is well designed and assembles easily and is very sturdy with hitch clamp and grip paint on ramp surface. Even bag of fastening hardware with nylon nuts were run up finger tight to ensure no parts missing. First class product.

Bought the 600 lb carrier to use with my sleeper van so that I can travel with my bike without needing to pull a trailer, so I wanted something sturdy that I can drive thousands of miles with confidence. The bike is a Kawasaki Versys 650cc that weighs about 450 lbs. The carrier seemed heavier than I expected in the box but assembly wasn't difficult and, once assembled, was relatively easy for my wife and I to install into the hitch. The ramp is long and makes for an easy slope to push the bike up, although getting it into the final cradle area takes a bit more effort and I'm still not sure that I have the cradle in the proper position - the instructions are weak in that regard. 4 straps ties it down but you need to make sure they are seriously tight, otherwise it will rock a lot. Love how the ramp stores on the carrier. My main concern was the handle bar hitting the back of the van (window) so we strapped a thick bath towel on the grip, but in the end it wasn't necessary because the bike stayed in place quite well. Drove about 350 miles with it the first time and once I got over my anxiety, it was all good. After a while I hardly noticed it was there. I will say that the bike seems to lean a bit far toward the front end and isn't quite as level as I'd hoped it would be, but it seems ok that way. Also disappointed that the hitch sleeve thing came loose both times I used it - one of the four bolts backed off about half an inch from vibrations making the whole thing a lot less useful. That's another component that the instructions could be improved on with regard to ensuring it's situated in the proper place; I put it on but have no idea if I did it properly. Unloading was super easy. Something additional I added was extra tail lights that connect to my trailer connector to add more lights and help prevent anyone from rear-ending me. The strap bars stick out a significant distance beyond the bike so it would be a good idea to tie on a bright yellow piece of fabric to alert the vehicle behind you of where the thing ends. Maybe I'm paranoid but one of my fears is getting rear-ended and screwing up the carrier, my bike, or both. Overall I'm mostly happy with the product but need to put it to a real test this summer on a very long road trip.

Works great transported my Harley Davidson Livewire 550lb and also my Triumph Thruxton 450lb one thing I suggest to minimize the bouncing add some additional straps to the bars and rear fender area to your truck to help stability and piece of mind

So far, so good, was able to put it together by myself in a little under 30 minutes. Instructions were very clear feels very sturdy. I really like the no tilt mount. I’ve had a carrier like this before, but it felt loose in the hitch, and so far this seems to not be the case with this product. Have not put my bike on it yet

Definitely not safe to use. They claim a 600lb capacity I doubt that would even be the case. I instantly pulled my bike off the rack cause I didn’t feel safe traveling with it on this.
