Review Image by Bryan D Bryan D
I drove 6 hours, mostly highway, with my new (to me) Husqvarna and it worked great. I did pull over every hour to check the hitch stabilizer and the bolts were working loose. I think they used an 18mm wrench/socket, but I threw it out so I can't verify that. I recommend either adding jam nuts to the hitch stabilizer bolts or replacing it with a better one. I got a Maxxhaul 50023 hitch tightener for my second use. It was a big improvement in stability and didn't loosen itself on the road. If you have a truck or taller vehicle I recommend getting the carrier with the longer ramp. I needed help loading the bike on the back of a full size truck, but it was easy on my own with a van. The hardware that came with mine was rated 8.8, so not the pot metal hardware some other reviewers received. The welds are ugly, but they hold up and that's what matters. ... show more

    • It works well but some things could be improved
TL;DR Worked very well with a 250lb bike. Overall a solid rack once the hardware is upgraded. Poor padding in the box left it with tons of scratches. Bolts provided are lowest rated. I recommend replacing them with higher grade for a minimal cost. Pay attention to the orientation when assembling so the bike front end and ramp are where you want them. Watch for sharp edges when walking around it. While the rack worked out well, had I not been in a hurry I would probably have purchased the harbor freight one which is normally less than this ramp and currently on sale for $100. It provides easier ramp storage at the expense of a shorter ramp. I needed this in a hurry to cart around a YZ450F on the back of a Honda CRV. I went with this mostly because of the 2 day shipping. The box came wrapped in plastic ties and tape on all seams. Looked solid. Not so upon opening. The Styrofoam pieces were pretty much destroyed. There were so many scratches in the aluminum I thought maybe this was previously returned. But all the hardware was there and no obvious signs of actual installation. So I'm guessing it came like this new. Install was a piece of cake. Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts holding the rack to the support bracket so you don't end up messing up the aluminum. ****BE WARNED**** the bolts it comes with are class 4.8 which is pretty much the lowest grade you can buy. I would never feel comfortable using those bolts. I urge you to run to your auto parts store and pick up at least class 8.8 equivalent for all the bolts. For less than $15 I bought all class 10.9 yellow zinc flanged hex bolts. Here are the sizes and quantities: 4 - M8x1.25x40 8 - M8x1.25x20 (If you're using lock washers you might want to bump the length up from 20 to 30 to accommodate the washer) Mine came with nylon lock nuts which means I didn't need lock washers. If you have regular nuts I recommend replacing them with nylon locking nuts or picking up some lock washers. When you are assembling, be aware of the rack orientation. The front wheel goes in the big gap. If you put the big gap on the drivers side, the ramp has to mount between the car and the rack. If you put the big gap on the passenger side the ramp mounts on the opposite side furthest away from the car. I chose the drivers side so the ramp would be hidden and because having the front end of the bike on the drivers side leaves the most visibility our the rear window. The instructions weren't clear how the ramp is bolted on. I ended up putting the bolt through the rack with a nut on the other side, which left the bolt permanently installed in the rack with a bit of exposed threads. Then I line up the ramp holes with those bolts and use the wingnuts to hold the ramp in place. It's held up perfectly this way so far. It's not hard at all for me to use the wingnuts but it is time consuming to screw them on and off. I also worry that the threads will wear pretty fast given the weak steel of the bolt and constant inserting of the bolt through the ramp holes. There is no doubt a better way this could have been done. To tie down the bike I used 4 non-ratcheting tie-downs and 2 short rubber bungee cords. 2 of the tie downs go on the handlebars, 1 per side, closest to the center of the bar I could get. The other 2 went from where the frame piece running along the airbox from the rear fender meets the main frame, about 8 inches above the foot peg. I pushed down on the bike as I tightened to make sure it wasn't going anywhere. To be extra safe, I placed a short bungie through each tire and around the rack to make sure they never pick up. The bike was rock solid. Made it no problem for a 300 mile round trip which included about 8 miles of off-roading in the desert. Total confidence that everything would hold. The anti-tilt bracket was chintzy but totally worked fine. I thought for sure it would come loose and lose a bolt while driving. But it held tight for the entire trip. So in the end this carrier worked well for me. I'm happy with it but it took a bit of extra work and cost a bit more than some of the competition. EDIT: Added a star. The rack worked flawlessly for years, the screws holding the ramp didn't strip out as I expected. I got rear-ended a couple days ago, the rack took pretty much all the damage and even though it bent all up, it still held the bike. I'm buying the same rack again so that says something. ... show more

Decent quality for the price. Hardware included seem fine. Welds … rough. Instructions just need a couple things to make them informative. We installed (2 of us carefully reviewing the instructions) the main aluminum carrier itself on backwards. Key to remember, the quick release holes on the side to hold the removable ramp need to be in the back closest to the hitch. We got it reversed 😏 ... show more

    • First Use Thoughts
Instructions are poor, but really not necessary as assembly is intuitive. I had one slightly mis-aligned hole that was a bit of a pain but not a major issue. As many have written, the fasteners are cheap so I encourage you to replace them with a higher quality. I assembled and installed it alone, then loaded a 125cc dirt bike. With the front wheel on the carrier and the rear wheel about half way up the ramp, the ramp suddenly tilted towards the front of the truck (due to the rear wheel being a little off to the side on the ram0_ and it almost caused the bike to fall. I somehow managed to get it back down the ramp to the ground without losing it, but it was a scary close call on my first use. I grabbed a small hook and loop ratchet and cinched the ramp to the carrier - similar to how you cinch a bed loading ramp to the truck before loading a bike - and that seems to work OK....we'll see. I have not driven anywhere with it installed or with a bike on it, so I will update once I do. Overall - I think this will work just fine, but it'd be nice if the quality was a little higher. ... show more

    • Works great for my E-bike and I'm past 60.
The Black Widow bike carrier was reasonably easy to assemble, and the instructions are easy to follow. The only thing I do not like about the Black Widow is that the anti-wobble bracket is hard to put in place, but once it is the rack is rock solid. The ramp works well and stays in place when you need it to. ... show more

    • Descent towing option
I have a full size dirt bike that fits perfect (KLX 300R) My only complaint about it is the device used on the front tongue to help secure the carrier to the vehicle. Each time you put on or take off the carrier it takes a wrench to tighten. And there needs to be some additional metal plate instead of just bolts. For the price it works great. It’s very light and easy to carry around. The ramp is easily stowed on the carrier when in transit. ... show more

Yamaha XT250 around 300lbs with full tank on a 2.5" lifted 2 door wrangler. Had to pull the spare and throw it in back. Put it in gear and eased it up the stock ramp. Also eased it down the other side. Keep one hand on clutch other on front brake. Not that hard. My tongue weight limit is 350lbs. Put 520 miles on it last week. Used the supplied anti-rattle hitch lock. Tightened it a little after around fifty miles and it was good after that. I think it will last but I'll only use it a few times a year. ... show more
