I mount a ~260lb. bike plus a 90lb. carrier on the stock hitch regularly without any issue. I was skeptical at first as well, but have had no problems. I think you will be fine.
Looks great and very glad to hear the bracket worked well for you. I agree that on future runs we can extended the mounting points out to allow for additional lighting options and I will also look into a thicker metal gauge while I'm at it. So far the bracket legs have held up well for me and I...
