Buy one.. but ots cheap and the lines are almost invisible. Buy a very loud horn like the hornet to help with drifters and a go pro on your helmet pointing backwards helps too. Even if you dont turn it on.

Yrah you could... but I will be honest, it's cheaply made. I would NOT buy this item again.

I have had mine on my Jeep Liberty for the past 3 years...love it. The only problem I've had is that a second bike rides lower than the first. Solved it by duct taping a small rubber ball to the carrier to make the second bike ride higher. I live on a dirt road and the second bike was hitting the ground on the deep ruts. I love that you never have to take it off the car once you put it on. It folds in flatly.

Your fender is likely to be the only area of concern. I had a 97 RK and it worked fine. I bought a 13 StreetGlide and the gate that flips up in the back was RFC to the fender. I took off the gate and it works perfect. When you load the bike for tie down best to have a helper set the front straps. If you let it lean over and get off to do it yourself you will as a minimum mar your rotors or spring? bend? one as a possibility. I mounted the thing on a sheet of 1" plywood, pulled my p/u 5th wheel hitch out, notched the ply so I could strap right to the 5th wheel rails left in the bed. Works perfectly. Can send a pix if you like. Best value I have seen in this kind of wheel chock Your fender is likely to be the only area of concern. I had a 97 RK and it worked fine.

I have riden a few times with no rider on the back. When I got going really fast the back starts to bounce around a little bit and torques the bike side to side a little bit. I dont think its a big deal, just dont go really fast.

No. They click onto two spokes and the ball rides the middle of the three spokes pictured. I would recommend one for front and back, or two to really stand out among traffic!!

Maria...Is this happening on turns? If so it is because as you make the corner your handlebars turn and ultimately 'dip' as you go through the corner. That feature doesn't have an option to enable/disable. You'd think the folks that design these things would think beyond the dashboard and consider it may be mounted on a bicycle, motorcycle, or something. I'm guessing by now you've found a better solution, but if not...just don't make turns...lol.

As I remember the distance between the 2 is different. One is for the back and one for the front.

It depends upon your use. These are so inexpensive, if you want double protection as a back-up barrier, then buying two isn't an issue. I personally didn't buy these as a stop behind the wheels. Rather, I bought 5, and have used them to divide a double car garage. We share part of this double garage with transient renters in our building (we have vacation rentals within our four flat building). It has made a big difference in serving as a guide to keeping people in their portion of the garage, not impinging upon our section, and making it easy to get in and out.

it's fine, but consider the grace snuggrider for convenience and likely equal safety up until the 2 month mark, you can't move the boulevard around but safety was my top priority so I bought two of them- one for each car

If you want to use this bike on the road (vs. short commute or flat urban streets), you probably need a rear brake for safety. When there is a steep slope going down, the front brake is not sufficient (pushing back on the pedal is also not enough if it's really steep).

I've had the Schwalbe tires for a year. I put one on the rear because my performance bike shop was out of the others. Two weeks later I put one on the front even though it was fine. You'd be wise to let the shop put them on as they're very tough. Best tires I've ever had. Bulletproof.

I use it for my "roadie" and it rides along side my wife's mountian bike and have not noticed any contact between the bikes,very happy with this purshase.

The front of the bike has wheels that will roll so you would have to lift and guide the bike from the back. As far as what it's designed for, it's probably meant to stay in one place because it is kind of heavy to be moving around often....unless you want to incorporate that into your workout...

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

You could put one on the handle bars but As the rear basket is large I dont see the point

It depends on the mortor bike they are intended for. They are usually sold in pairs so if the bike uses the same pads for front and rear brakes then it is probable that 2 pairs will be needed for the front and one pair for the rear. The number of pairs depends on the number of brake calipers on the bike. e.g. twin calipers on the front and one caliper on the rear is fairly normal for a road bike however the enquirer's bike may only have one caliper front and one caliper rear.

If you're planning on carrying a lot of items, or carrying heavy stuff (a gallon of milk + groceries, etc) I'd get two, just to balance out the weight on both sides of the bike. Otherwise you'll have to compensate for weight on just one side -- which is fine, and you can do it, but it's nicer to have two. I made do with just one for a year, and it was ok, but I like having two now.
