The motorcycle blocks the SUV lighting (when I use the hitch mount carrier), so I was looking for a simple, inexpensive solution. This works great. I use the heavy duty Versahaul motorcycle carrier , but imagine it would work on any motorcycle carrier. I do not have the reverse light connected..but I was only looking for turn signals and brake lights. Pigtail is about 35" and plugs into my 4 prong with almost no slack.
