#3: Most recommend front shock compression of about 50%. Important for maintaining strap tension integrity during loading/unloading across bumps - or you can lose it. Some put a block in there to limit shock travel.
If you buy one, read up well on it, and watch a lot of videos... not this one.
#2: This type of tow system (there are many varieties) is reliable and great for short trips (like to drop the bike or car off locally). Some (other) people even use these on extended trips (you probably want to run the bike a bit every 500 - 1000 miles for proper lubrication in the t-case).
Danger: During hookup the front wheel is prone to turning under weight of the bike with this type system. This can drop the bike very quickly. Until she secured the handlebars she was in danger. The technique shown here is totally wrong. Its irresponsible to post something like this without addressing or knowing about the potential dangers, or I wouldn't even bother posting this here.
Elegant, super simple design. I love the fact that the reciever is adjustable. Way overpriced, though. No one's going to use something like that for long hauls, it's a great idea for emergencies and short hauls. The question is, why put 379.00 into that when you can buy a simpler and admittedly less well-designed and robust unit for 119.00 including shipping, ramp and tie-downs?

Too bad, I'dve snapped one up at 200.00
