Emergency Tow Only
So I bought the product thinking it might work out for me. Yes, I did read the previous reviews. After installing and testing it out, I've concluded that you should only use this in case of emergency only.First of all, product came in a box. All of the parts are there. You have to assemble. If you watch the video, and a little intuition, you'll assemble it fine.As for actual usage, it's a different story. First of all, you have to set it down so that you can walk your bike onto the wheel choke. Then, you have to strap the front wheel onto the wheel choke real tight. Now comes the difficult part; you have to use the handle and try to lift the front wheel high enough so you can push the lock pin in. If you are using the handlebar alone, it is impossible. I tried greasing it and used my whole body weight. The handle bar cannot lift the wheel choke (with the front wheel strapped in) high enough to the lock pin position.As a solution, I lifted the wheel choke just high enough so I can put a car jack underneath. Then, I used the car jack to raise the wheel choke (with motorcycle front wheel strapped on tight) up high enough to push in the lock pin. That was how I was able to raise the wheel choke.Not done yet. Now, I have to strap the bike down real well to prevent the "lean" that everyone is taking about. I used the "canyon handlebar" strap so that the handlebar is stabilized.However, when driving and turning, the bike does lean. No matter how tight the straps are, the bike WILL lean when you are turning. Go SLOW!!! When the car straightens out, the bike does straighten. Needless to say, it raises your anxiety level thinking what if the straps break while turning (if turning at higher speed)?In conclusion, with the difficulty of raising the bike up, and witnessing how the bike leans, i don't recommend this product for recreational usage (like towing your bike for long trip). I only recommend to use this if you do not have a trailer and it's an EMERGENCY to tow your bike to the shop.Hope that helps make your decision. Ride safe!

Total failure
the worst of my life in orders neither complete nor with good instructions no anything is not worth it this product is disgusting

solid unit, missing directions
The unit is very heavy grade steel. The bad is no directions are included only the parts sheet. If you use the part sheet as instructions, it gets all messed up. I used several of the product pictures on a tablet to build mine correctly. This product is offered by several sellers, some have more in-depth photos to build from. Tools needed are 4 wrenches or two crescent or slip joint pliers. 5 stars if proper accurate instructions were included. Missing instructions drop it by 2. The photo is the only thing in the box to work from.

Should work with modifications (Edit: Won't work with my adventure motorcycle)
Concept is great but it needs help to work properly. First, as a YouTube video illustrated, there's too much friction during lifting a 300+ lb bike front wheel. I fortunately have some scraps of Teflon and tools to work with it. So, as the photos indicate I adhered some treated one side Teflon to the slide contact points. I then cut and punched a "washer" of HDPE (think milk jug material) under the large washer. I had discovered that my Ford Edge receiver was too close to the ground to work as the wheel carrier was only an inch or two off the ground in full up position so I used the "dual hitch extender" as shown which raised the carrier six inches. Finally, (having a drill press and a 5/8" drill bit) I moved the 2" square tube back toward the bumper marked and drilled another hole to help reduce the cantilever load. So, I made it work but only with additional cutting, drilling, and gluing (and three of the bolts should be an M40 instead of the supplied M35). It would be helpful if the add would list the needed or recommended receiver height as this would work better attached to a pick up truck that was higher than my Edge. Not everyone has the tools and materials I have.Edit 3-2-24: text + two more pictures. I thought I'd overcome all the negatives and problems but I was wrong. The above review was written before I actually attempted to load the bike. This motorcycle with a 90/90-21" front tire/wheel (and a high center of gravity) is too narrow to stay in the carrier. The straps furnished are a joke! Even with a ratchet strap or two, the carrier channel is too wide to stabilize the wheel so with just a gentle push, the bike will fall over. And that's before being lifted into the tow position. Maybe a "street" bike with a 5-6" wide tire and low c/g could work but not this size tire. I hope Amazon will accept a return.

Not for heavy bike
I have a Honda shadow 1100 cc. Not practical. Bike leaned to the side even though i used additional tie straps. Perfect for a small bike.
C**.
Only good for small bikes like dirt bikes
Will not hold 800 bike

Lighter scooters or bikes, maybe
Doesn’t work for heavy bikes ie 650 lb. Yam Stryker. It won’t lift it, even with a lever arm. The arm on the hauler will bend. It’s a great idea, but needs improvement.
