Raider TOW-104 Motorcycle Carrier Review

Raider TOW-104 Motorcycle Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've hauled dirt bikes for years in trucks and trailers but was a little hesitant to buy a hitch hauler, especially since I put it on a Wrangler Rubicon.
But, jumping in with both feet got me a fantastic hauler for a third of the price of brands like Joe Hauler. It does everything expected from a hitch hauler, I haven't had any issues yet with hauling, and like I said, for the price the small issues are moot.
Positives and short comings?
Downsides:
-It's a little light and sways a bit
-You'll have to wiggle the front wheel back and forth to avoid putting pressure on any spoke when you insert the pin to hold the front wheel in place
-The tie down points are in the middle instead of the front
-You can't really get the ramp in the holder once you tie the bike down, and if you do it rattles like crazy
-It's too thin (and light as I mentioned) to carry much more than a dirt bike
-Sits out a little far if you don't have a spare tire
Positives:
-Cheap!!!!
-Bolts together snuggly and being light it's great for vehicles with low tongue capacity
-Gaps in the chanel work perfectly with knobs on dirt bikes
-Holds the bike snuggly once everything is strapped down
-Sticks out far enough to avoid spare tires
-Hasn't had much affect on the driving of my Wrangler despite the weight out back (positive for me!)

Pentagon Tool XC1 Aluminum Motorcycle Ramp - Hitch Carrier Review

Although the picture shows a street bike being loaded on this carrier the instructions say "Not recommended for most street bikes" Would have been nice to know that before I ordered it.
Anti wobble device, will not mount correctly on my receiver (Toyota). It tips as I tighten the center bolt then comes off when I tighten the other two bolts. I made a steel plate that fits inside the wobble device that allowed me to get it tight. However, it came off after less then 45 miles.
Picked up my new Honda 230M using this carrier. Used the provided strap to drive (very slowly) to the nearest Walmart and buy some other straps. The ones that came with the carrier are not to be trusted. Instructions say "Use straps at your own risk"
No problem with assembly. Instructions are very,very faded. I can't see the wobble device orientation in the picture. But the narrative describes how it is supposed to go on.
I have a small bag of sheet metal screws and washers left over. I have no idea what they are for. They are not shown in the parts list.
Instructions say the ramp stores on ether side - not true. There are threaded holes on one side only.
My carrier arrived damaged. The box looks like someone ran a forklift through one side.

Anti Rattle Locking Hitch Mount Wobble Bike Rack Hauler (Anti-Wobble) Review

Works OK, just is not user friendly when trying to install it on various vehicles with different body plastic, i.e. Chrysler Town n Country: Due to hitch being resessed under van, not enough 2 inch receiver sticking out to proper secure it. Doge Power wagon 2500 Welding to thick at neck of receiver and only wat to install anti-rattle was to turn it upside down and tightn the screws. Works well in that position.
