Black Widow Motorcycle Hitch Carrier with Loading Ramp Lightweight Aluminum 400 lb. Capacity Anti-Rattle Included Fits 2" Receiver

I compared this exact carrier across many websites and if you have prime this is the best price you're going to find. It comes disassembled obviously and it is not very hard to assemble and requires minimal tools. It has a very robust powder coated steel frame, and aluminum used on non-essential parts such as the ramps. I have used it a number of times with a Honda 250x (280ish lbs) and a CRF300L (310ish lbs) and it has worked great. Roads used on consist of winded backroads, washboard dirt roads, at around 60mph. There wasn't a moment that seemed sketchy or I thought any of the bikes were going to fall off. The hitch stabilizer does a really good job of facilitating this. The attachment points for the tow straps are perfectly positioned and work great. Overall it has done great, no complaints on any aspects of this product. If you are on the fence, just buy it.

Wanted to give a quick update after reading a lot of the reviews then assembling.Package had one small tear, but no damage to the carrier.Two key items after reading a ton of other reviews.1. They have updated the hardware. Many reviews said it came with low grade bolts and not nylon locknuts. Mine came with grade 8 bolts (except note below) and nylon locking nuts. So had no need to upgrade them. Both the steel and aluminum welds look good and thorough (not just tack welded) except the rear tire round bar was welded in way crooked, but doesn’t seem to effect function.2. I would highly recommend not using the stock ramp mounting system unless you modify it. The two tiny bolts are low grade and in my opinion way too small in diameter. If you are sticking to only pavement it may be fine, but it will not hold up on dirt roads and especially on washboard. Just toss the ramp in the vehicle.

The hitch assembly itself is great. It seems very strong, it's light, and the pricing is a great value.There are a few improvements I would recommend.-The ramp isnt very long and if you have a tall bike it can be difficult to get it up the ramp without leaning the bike a bit to reach the bars to get enough force to push it up the steep ramp. The problem with this is that the ramp is not very sturdy. It can handle a vertical load well, but as soon as there is horizontal loading the ramp will bend. If you make sure to keep the load vertical you wont have any problems.-The cross bars are v-shaped, so if you have your tires aired down for offroad the bar at the rear of the front tire will dig into the tire too much for my liking. I'm going to solve this by wrapping the bar with some hose and then I will zip tie it.-It has the ability to tighten bolts where it attaches to the hitch to keep the assembly from rocking all around over bumps, but those bolts loosen up after a little while. I'm going to get some nuts to add to them to lock them in.-Reflective tape would have been nice on the back. I'm going to add some.-Since the front tire is much thinner than the channel it can allow the handle bars to rock back and forth a little while driving. I recommend pulling the front tire all the way against the rail and then adding a small strap around the tire and rail to keep it tight.-Overall a very good product.

Way heavier duty than expected! Quality out performed expectations! Instructions could have been a little cleared, but overall easy to setup! Great ramp, very sturdy!

Works great.

This carrier is awesome. Purchased it initially for a work project and couldn't be happier with it.For starters, when I received it, to make it look a little nicer, I spray painted the steel bits black and added some reflective DOT tape to make sure I was plenty visible at night, where the bike slightly blocks my truck's tail lights and I was going to be driving a notoriously dangerous canyon highway at night. Turned out looking great, and I feel like the reflective tape is a must-do modification.As someone that had never transported a motorcycle before, I was a bit worried about the tie down locations. Being so close to the bike, I couldn't see how it would be stable and supported well, front-to-back. To my surprise, my bike was solid as a rock, using ratcheting tie downs. I hardly even compressed the bike's suspension and it held great, with very little movement.My first use with this thing was a 250 mile stretch of 65 mph, very tight, windy canyon road. I was admittedly very nervous about this stretch, but the carrier worked great. The bike didn't really move at all. The only times it did were in the hardest of corners, where I noticed the handle bars would turn slightly, but it'd straighten right back up.Loading and unloading was a lot easier than I expected. I'm only 5'8" and was using this on a relatively tall 2014 F150 and I was worried I'd have a hard time reaching the handles once it got up on the carrier. I also thought I'd need to power the bike up the ramp. Both were non-issues. I could easily walk my Yamaha XT225 up the ramp, unassisted, could reach fine, and could even strap it down pretty effortlessly with one person as well. Unloading was definitely easier with two people, though. The front wheel really sinks into the front of the carrier well, which is great for stability, but it takes a little more effort to get it out when you're alone. It also definitely helps to unload it forward, instead of trying to back it down.Overall, for the price, I couldn't be any happier with this carrier. I don't doubt there are better made ones, but for a fraction of the cost, this does an awesome job. I'll definitely get my money's worth out of this carrier, and would recommend it.
