I recently purchased the Black Widow Steel Deluxe Motorcycle Carrier – 600 lb. Capacity from discountramps.com
A very substantial rack built of steel with aluminum track. Came with anti-tilt bracket that really snugs it up to the receiver hitch on my Silverado pickup. I also purchased the Tyrefix straps from Acebikes and some 2” rachetstraps.
First impression - strong and solid
Second impression - hitting dips in road scares the crap out of me as I see my red pony bobbing in my rearview mirror
Yet, in spite of my butt-clenching anxiety, the bike rode well from Atlanta to Knoxville where I was able to deliver my passengers and hit the road on the FJ.
Bike was too heavy for me to properly load into wheel chock by pushing. Had to back down and then use engine power with clutch control to fully load. Very nervous doing this alone. I have never dropped my bike but felt this was pushing my luck.
No problem unloading.
Loaded second time with a helper giving a small push.
Still researching safest way to strap the bike but I love the carrier.
I think it will help me with more opportunities for riding as I often travel by truck to assist elderly mother. Great to have my FJ handy when I get a few hours for wind therapy.

Limpy,
Is that you standing by the trashcan?
Looks kind of like an inconspicuous drone pilot.

I am currently using an Icon Alliance. Fits nicely but seems noisy.
Planning to add a Sena system soon. Hope I can hear it.
