Could etrailer Anti Rattle Device be Used with Motorcycle Carrier
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/14/2025 >
Question:
I have a black widow hitch mounted motorcycle carrier that has what they call and anti-tilt device that looks identical to a basic u-bolt style anti-rattle device. Could this serve the same purpose? It would be fantastic to not have to mess with tightening nuts each time I carry my motorcycles.

Hey Shane, I actually have the same motorcycle carrier you have and yes you could use etrailer anti-rattle device part # e38FV with it. I might actually go with this too for mine but I generally don't have a lot of movement with my carrier because my hitch is obnoxiously tight. What do you carry on yours?

Hey Shane, how did things go with the anti-rattle device on your motorcycle carrier? Did it cut down on the movement the way you hoped? Your update could make it easier for others using the same setup.
