Anyone using a motorcycle carrier?

Any recommendation on a motorcycle carrier that hooks into the receiver? I've been looking at some online but can't decide. The bike is only about 250# wet. I like the AMC-400 but can't find any solid reviews.. here's a link

Any input would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I've got one but I made it myself ...... it'll haul anything you can get up on it and tied down. In fact, I can load a bike on it and then hook a loaded 2-horse trailer to it and pull it without worry even on washboards. It is pretty hard to get a pre-made one not to have a lot of play in it out on the ends of the channel unless you tie the ends to the bumper but shimming the receiver helps. I made mine with 2 extra receivers on the ends of the truck hitch to eliminate the play and let me tow trailers. The rack on my van is just an extension of the frame rails with a bike channel and shoe but they both work good. No more than your bike weighs you should be fine with a ready-built one if you do something to eliminate the play.
