Trailer Hitch

[Trailridr]

I guess I'm the oddball here, but I looked at 2 YouTube videos on how to attach a hitch, and after watching both I built my own. It is sort of patterned after the pics of the Rivco.

Not to pirate the thread but has H-D ever said why they are so opposed to trailers?

The Mo-Co isn't opposed to trailers .............. As long as it is your scoot that is being trailered. As for pulling a trailer, they are dead set against it I would imagine because they cannot control the way in which the trailer is loaded. Tongue weight is so critical. Especially on two wheels. Over the years I have either seen or chanced upon many a single vehicle accident involving an mc pulling a trailer. Some of those pull behind camper trailers are not light weight.

.....Has anybody used a trailer hitch from Motor Trike, looks good and the price is right.

I know this is a old thread but I am looking at hitches myself.

Did you end up getting a Hitch Doc? If so how do you like it and do you have any pics?

Thanks

No I didn't get a hitch yet, when this thread was going on I had a 2016, I now have a 2018 and still don't have a hitch, but if I decide to get a hitch it will be a hitch doc, look at the pics in my post in this thread it will show the hitch from Hitch doc, also hitch doc told me their hitch will work with a bumper, the pics on this post doesn't show a bumper and that is why I called them and they confirmed to me that a bumper will work with their hitch.

Ok

I recently got a 19. Bought it used and already has a bumper. The hitch doc site doesn't list a 19. I will need to get a hold of them and see if they make one or if it's the same as a 18. Thanks for getting back with me.

I had the Kuryakyn on my 15 and I'm pretty sure the same one came on my 14. Nice hitch, removable ball/bar.
