Does HF carrier have a anti rock mechanism built in to keep the rack from rocking side to side?all the strength is in the 2" tube that goes into the receiver. thats what matters. Ive designed and built carriers, so if you are shopping.. look there. make sure it has good fitment. expensive doesnt nec mean better. But the moto totes are nicely made.
What brand of windshield is that? Looks effective for highway...View attachment 1102
Just took mine on a 400 mile trip with the harbor freight ramp. Honestly very impressed with the build quality for something H.F. Bike did not move and only shaked a tiny bit on severe bumps or potholes (I could monitor with my back up camera.). I added some cheap trailer lights to the bottom since it blocks my right truck light a bit. The only negative is that it's obviously made for a slightly longer motorcycle as the rear wheel doesn't drop into the slot, but it wasn't really a problem. I ended up using 4 ratchet straps as I just usually overdo it on things like this.
With the bike weight at 265 lbs it sits about 16" at center behind the truck. Add the rack weight and using a handy online leverage calculator, I estimate there is about 400lbs at the hitch, so make sure your vehicle can support that. (this Silverado is rated for over 900 lbs tounge weight so easily handled it.).
I also use this anti rattle device works great:
Thumbs up for the great price! Oh and don't bother looking for HF coupons they apparently don't do that anymore. Best bet might be to wait for like labor day and see if they do a 20% off everything like they did on July 4th
try a ratchet strap to the safety chain hook slot in the hitch to the corner of the rail. will dampen it a bit. also, on the tie down points, use the loose end of the strap to loop through the eyelet the hook is on. wrap it around the hook, use a single leg knot, and it physically can never ever come off. I might have to take some pics, things i learned a LONG time ago that have served me very well.

Thank you for the linkHonda CT125 Tall Full Windshield Windscreen
Full tall windshield windscreen comes in smoked screen or clear screen fits on the Honda CT125 Aftermarket parts and accessories Bangkok.www.zeedparts.com
I should add the windshield and brackets seem well made and is very solid at 50+ mph. No instructions came with it so it took a minute of figuring out, but, pro tip:. The bolts you replace with theirs fit the back rack holes.Thank you for the link
OT but where do the windshield frame mount to the bike?I should add the windshield and brackets seem well made and is very solid at 50+ mph. No instructions came with it so it took a minute of figuring out, but, pro tip:. The bolts you replace with theirs fit the back rack holes.
