I didn't know that HD sold a hitch - seems contrary to their previous policies. If you have a part number pls share - Russ

HitchDoc makes a great hitch. Don't think they make a rack for it though.

Make it easily removable as long as you have warranty on the bike.
Even if you have no intention of ever towing a trailer, HD WILL void your warranty if you show up w/one on your trike. Especially if you have a drive train failure.

Be careful putting a luggage rack on a hitch. I have heard some complain that the exhaust will melt or do damage to bags on a hitch rack.

I suggest an ATV basket for the hitch. I have one of these that I use on my Wrangler. It raises the luggage up to a level higher than the bottom of the rear tire. That way the basket will not drag on the ground when I am out in rough country. I bought mine at Harbor Freight and paid about $50

I went to Harbor Freight and picked up one of their aluminum receiver hitch luggage carriers and a hitch adapter to take it down to the proper size. I narrowed the aluminum rack so it was inside the rear fenders. The receiver hitch I used has a 7" rise in it so my exhaust doesn't cause any heat problems on what ever I'm carrying. Use it to Sturgis and back this year and worked like a champ. Carried my tent, tent poles/stakes, air mattress, bedroll (appx 40#) with no problems.
