    True this on your post. I quit hauling a trailer long ago. I use soft luggage and if it doesn't fit in the trunk, it's not going.

    I just put my hitch on after having it for almost 2 years in the box. I was ready to carry the cooler!

    My tip(maybe won't apply to you)- If you every think you will add a hitch, but do slip-ons first- replace those security bolts above the mufflers with hex bolts while the slip ons are off, you might not reach them without lowering mufflers. Or do mufflers at the same time!

    Thanks for the tip, right now have stock mufflers, haven't decided what muffler I want for now, may just keep it stock, what kind of hitch did you install by the way. Should replace those torx 40 with something else for later on down the road.

    When you tow a trailer, you want the tongue as level as possible to avoid problems. The lift on the Rivco hitch I have levels my trailer perfectly even though I see the point on trunk opening. My solution......I don't use the trunk when I have the trailer, don't need it.

    My Kurakayn hitch is drilled and tapped on both sides for 1/4 20 bolts to put side pressure on the receiver to eliminate receiver rattle.

    I agree you want the trailer pretty level with the trike, not sure how some of those tongues make it level, like the rivco one with their high reciever and the kurakayn looks to be high also, never seen a trailer hook up to either of these.

    All for now Trampas

    P.S. My 2 wheelers with hitch doc hitch pulled my cycle mate trailer really good and it sat almost level

    Any info on wiring in electrical plug for the trailer as well. I can handle mechanical projects but electrical on these things is all voodoo to me.

    I called Hitch Doc and they sent me some pics of it since I couldn't find any pics online anywhere and no one here seemed to have any.

    I installed a Kuryakyn 7653 hitch on my 2014. I order it from Amazon, comes with the ball and all. My trailer sets level when it's connected.

    That's the hitch doc hitch that is on my trike. It's very heavy duty. Way more than any other hitch I have seen anywhere. Love knowing that mine is so strong. Again, this hitch ball will hit the trunk door with the trailer on the ball. I had to cut my hitch bar and lengthen it and lower it when I put on my bumper and wanted to make it so the trunk door wouldn't hit the lock on the trailer coupler. Still the best hitch I think.

    Thanks for the update milemaker, I know the pics they sent me doesn't show a bumper on it and I have a bumper, I know you said you put one on later and it appears to be a custom one instead of the harley one. Maybe they changed the receiver later on, not sure of that, it looks like in the pics they sent me it looks like maybe the door wouldn't hit the ball, with that one pic with the trailer hooked up and the trailer lock it might, not sure I would be getting into the trunk area and I know the trunk would be locked anyway just liked it now, just don't want it popping open so I keep it locked, right now there is nothing in it. I may call hitch doc again and talked to them about this receiver and my bumper, I like the fact it is a vertical one, a little more hidden.

    My trunk door didn't hit the ball but it did hit the trailer latch when the trailer was on. I don't know if it would clear your Harley bumper but the one I made wouldn't allow the trailer to mount onto the ball once I installed the bumper. I made my bumper tight to the body with about 7/16 clearance but the round Harley bumper may not be a problem with the radius of the tube.

    All in all its not hard to fix the issue if you know someone who can weld or just take it to a weld shop for modification. I have plenty of clearance on my setup now that I extended and lowered it.

    I will take a picture of mine with the ball mounted when I get a few minutes to myself.

    Retirement is such hard work. LOL.

    Thank you for responding back on this, I did call Hitch Doc and they said the trunk door wouldn't hit the trailer ball and they also said it would fit with my bumper, I'm sure it would hit with trailer hooked up but I don't think I would be getting into the trunk if I had a trailer hooked up, if I did I would have to be careful is all. If you get the chance some pics of it with the tongue on it would be nice, I know what you mean about retirement, what I don't get done today always have the next day and so forth LOL. I do have a welder friend, just don't like having to modify something that is new is all, I just wish the chain hook ups were a little higher up underneath so it wouldn't show when the tongue is off, that is the part I don't like, people would maybe know you have a hitch and especially a harley dealer, oh well

    the long tongue lets you pull it out to open trunk. It also makes a good seat when parked!

    I have a Hoover Hitch, but not yet decided on wire harness. I'm thinking I can take a picture of my license plate, laminate it,put it behind plexi in a lighted frame and put on back of cooler. I rode half a day before I realized you could not see a plate.

    My Kurakayn came with velcro wraps to limit the trunk opening with these installed i have clearance on my trunk.But with that said I dont leave the receiver in when not towing a trailer.

    harleymystique I pretty sure it will, surprised he didn't answer you, I know my cousin has this hitch and I'm pretty sure he has a bumper, never have seen the bike, but pretty sure it would work, most hitch makers know that people put on a hitch at one time or another and most have a bumper. I'm going with the hitch doc hitch myself and it will work with my stock bumper.

    Ok, I had some time and the bike was on the lift today. I put on a trailer coupler I had on the shelf so you can see the clearance I now have after modifying the hitch receiver. Its the Hitch Doc that has the huge 1/4 inch plate and vertical receiver. Its a great hitch and very heavy duty.

    I did need to reduce how high the receiver was and also add a couple inches to the length to get it away from the home made bumper. Its now 2" lower and 2" longer than how it was from Hitch Doc. I also made the chain hook mounts bigger, longer and much easier to use with the 5 pin electrical hookup.

    See the pictures.

    And yes I do have a bumper without any clearance issues.
