I bought one and then discovered that it had a very low weight limit. Check this out before buying.
I had a similar one that made it hard work to get the bike off and on. That one looks okay but as rupert said check the weight capacity out first. I will be getting one of these in near future. One of my friends has one and rates it. https://www.traxequipment.co.nz/prod...orbike-Carrier
This looks like it might be the gold standard https://racknroll.com.au/
There is a YouTube vid of a guy using one too
Might be cheaper to buy a trailer!
I have made a few of them now
They work well

I have one and it’s awesome, take it all over the place. Message me if you want one
I made this one. Its pretty sturdy, but relies on the Patrol spare wheel location to give the bike some North/South stability.

The ramp to ride the bike up, clips on to the rear, so you don't have to store it in the vehicle.
Its about 60 seconds from riding the bike up onto the carrier, to driving away.

Hi 300, how wobbly is it when you are on an open road/motorway,
and is it only 1 bar holding the whole thing?
I like the front wheel lock conceptQuote:

Yeah , it’s just the single bar . Theres a bolt to remove any slop on the tow bar that you tighten up. Some people use an extra tie down from the foot peg to the hitch but I don’t.
@300Shortmag would the bike handle bars hit the rear window of a wagon?
No they don’t , I also use mine on my work ute that’s got a canopy
I have one as well and find it useful. Mine has the wheel lock and rather than rely on tie downs it has two metal tensioners that are attached permanently on one end to the rack , and then the other attaches to the foot pegs. You simply twist these by hand to create down tension.
