After Mounting ? After Mounting with a factory mounting plate from Your Bikes manufacture, Does it have wiggle , is it fairly secure, can Your passenger actually lean against the backrest or is the backrest more of a decoration ?

It does have some movement, the amount of movement can be reduced by adding rubber pads to the bottom of the box or the top of the mounting plate to take up the tolerance

I found it impossible to figure out as well. I had to take it to a professional bike shop and they managed to mount it and I DO know it required extra parts on their end. Once installed it was great! Just getting it there took more time and $$ that I would have wanted to invest. It was a gift for my son-in-law (on a Schwinn bike) or I would have tried to look and see exactly how they mounted it to the seat for you. Unfortunately, the bike is not here where I can see it... Sorry! Good luck!

Its OK. Im a pretty big guy though. I usually hang it while holdin the bike from the side. If you plan to mount from the front it may be a little more difficult. Hope that helps.

Depends where the wobble is... If it is at the top then I would say that it is normal. If it at the hitch then I would check to make sure everything is tight espically if you are using the 2" receiver adapter. I have the same one and drove 400 miles in one day with 4 bikes on it and nothing bad happened.

We've had ours on the bike since December, it's pretty secure. I don't believe it will tilt or fly off.

Mine is actually mounted on the bottom rear bumper frame. I've only used it on bike racks.

If you are wondering if the clamping head turns easily with the bike in place, it doesn't it's very secure.when the bike is in the clamp you can also rotate the bike just make sure have a good hold on the bike so it doesn't fall over. When there is no bike in the clamp it is very easy to rotate and locks down securely,

I had this issue when I first tried installing it, and it took me a little bit to figure out. You don't have to use the mounting hardware that it came with; instead, I used the mounting from the seat I was replacing, and that worked just fine.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

No swaying for me. I have two adult bikes and three child bikes. I put one child bike on the front side closest to the car (Honda Pilot) and the remaining four bikes on the back sides. I alternate adult, child, adult, child. I have driven 1000's of miles and never had a problem.

Everything was easy xcept the seat. Help! How do you put together? I feel like there are too much hardware on a tiny screw that holds together with a but but not to me. Help! I just got this bike I cannot figure it out. There's a seat separate hardware and somehow you stick the hardware in the seat and attach the seat slider....how?????

I've never had a problem with the mount. The only real issue is that it doesn't have a small amount of pivot like many other do, so it can be tricky to get it pointing dead-ahead. Other than that, it's been fine by me.

I got my frame back in November 2013, there is still a "problem" with the seat post slipping....but I just cranked on it with an allen key and it holds fine. I'm not afraid to use a little muscle and that seems to work. once tight I have not had ANY ISSUES!!!

I no longer have a bike but when I had it I did not attach it to the seat post. I tied it to the back of the seat (which had brackets) so it never shifted and worked very well. (Probably not the answer you were looking for - sorry.)

HiI donth think i understood your question. But if you are saying would they wigle aroud after instalation, then yes they would a little even at bumps it would shake a bit but not an issue to worry about if you tighten it tightly i wont fall apart it wold hold on. So dont worry. Hopefuly thats your question.

It does wiggle, but I got used to that. The aluminum is very light, and durable, but it does flex. When I put the lower two bars at a straight up position and only lean the top it wiggles the least. Anything with this many angles I think would move a little though. I wouldn't mistake light weight aluminum for bad quality, but if y want solid and still, you may have to pay a little more or get one that latches on to a desk or end table. Hope that helps.
