I am looking at a Lehman raider trike and want to know if there is a hitch made to fit?

The Lehman Raider Trike has no body frame work, just a body setting on a pedestal and attached at the passenger boards and rear frame struts.
As such, there is no provision, nor is it advisable, to put a trailer hitch on a Raider Trike. Attaching a hitch and then a trailer to the body could result in catastrophic failure.
This is akin to a pickup truck body that because it has a 8'x4'x1.5' bed will support 1.5 cubic yards of dirt. Just because it is a trike doesn't make it capable of pulling or supporting a trailer.
If you are just looking at one to buy and must have a trailer hitch capabilities, a larger trike with a body frame is advisable.

WHEN HELP IS OFFERED, A SIMPLE "THANK YOU" IS APPRECIATED.
I like the trike and will buy it. And no, having a catastrophic failure is never good on a bike.
