Alright today we are going to review motorcycle carrier part number B350DBC, the Boss Motorcycle Carrier. Alright we will cover a few of the specs of this motorcycle carrier. First off, it does have different capacities depending on the hitch that you have. It does come with a handy chart on there if you tend to switch it around on different vehicles. It features all steel construction with a powder coat finish on it. It has a built-in ramp assembly so it does not have any separate parts. It does come with lighting too in case the motorcycle does block the lights on your vehicle itself, which is really nice. It also comes with two tie-down points to hold the motorcycle in place. And finally, on the front wheel, instead of having pins to adjust, it actually has a cradle that the wheel actually falls into, which is really nice. Or you can still adjust it for different tire diameters. 1:01

We will just go ahead and slide it in until we match up to the hitch pin holes. You may have to adjust the anti-rattle device to line up the hole and then install the hitch pin. Alright, now we will go ahead and tighten down the anti-rattle device. We will start off by tightening it down by hand. Then, we will use a tool on the opposite end to torque it down finally. Alright, once we have the anti-rattle device hand tightened, we will go ahead and use this pin here to further tighten it down. Take out the clip. Pull out the pin. This also gets our carrier ready for the motorcycle. Take our pin and we can just tighten it up with this. We do not have to crush it, just get it snug. OK, we will leave our pin off to the side. 1:53

Alright, next we will go ahead and install our safety chains for the rack. It just has a simple clip and the loop. Next, we will go ahead and plug in the wire harness. This does come standard with a 4-pole flat. If you have anything else, you are going to need an adapter. In this case, we are using a 7 to 4-pole adapter. Now the excess length you will have to take care of on your own because different vehicles have the wiring in different locations so it gives you plenty of slack. 2:20

At this point, we can go ahead and start loading up the bike. Strap down the bike using your favorite tie-down. We have the strap securing the bike now. Then we can go ahead and pick it up and level it out. Put our pin into place and we will pick up our bike. We will go ahead and put our safety pin back in and we will make any adjustments we need to the bike from there on out. Alright, with our bike loaded up and strapped down, one final check on the lights and we are ready to go down the road. And there you have it for part number B350DBC, the Boss Motorcycle Carrier.

@BAXMAN68 The carrying capacity on this carrier is dependent on the tongue weight that your hitch can handle. If your hitch has a TW of 300 lbs, the carrier's capacity will be 180 lbs. For 350 lbs TW the capacity is 225 lbs, for 500 lbs TW, the capacity is 350 lbs. For 750 lbs of TW, the carrier's capacity is 450 lbs. You should go with the tongue weight of your vehicle and/or your hitch, whichever is less. Let me know if you have any other questions. I would be glad to help!

What is the weight limitation on this hitch? I don't expect it to haul a Harley, but what about a street bike?
