"There needs to be an enlargement so that this will fit 2" tow bars, it fit's too tight without the adjusting screw. The opening needs to be 2.5" for it to work better. I have to file down the metal to fit my tow bar."

"Well made, easy to install, does the job, and is very competitively priced. I'd recommend getting the sway-bar, as it does tend to sway, but only in a very minor way. I can definitely recommend this rack."

"The carrier would not slide onto my towing bar without grinding the square corners off the towing bar. Not a huge process but why must the carrier have round corners inside the slide-over? Also the two nuts under the screw tighteners need to be loosened about 1/2 inch to make the top plate easier to remove. I haven't put 4 bikes on mine yet but it will be crowded. It also moves back and forth a lot when driving. Perhaps the accessory to tighten the towing bar will help."

"The only issue I had was finding the right hitch for the rack and securing it. It moves a little from side to side, but all in all the bike stayed on even on the highway. No safety issues."

"The bike rack is fine, however the info. given before I placed my order lead me to believe that the car hitch, and bike rack were all inclusive. I was suprised when I open the box to find that the hitch wasn't part of the package."
