I know this is a thread about hitches but I think this needs to be said. If you actually plan to pull a trailer behind either a TriGlide or a late model (6 speed) HD you should think seriously about a gear change. This may not effect the 2011 TriGlide as they have changed the front pulley to a 30T. My 09 TriGlide, loaded for a 10 day trip, two up, struggled to maintain legal speeds with any kind of wind blowing. Many miles of this trip were done in 5th gear. For reference I weigh 215, the missus weighs quite a bit less (CYA guys). My 07 Ultra/CSC kit suffered through the same problems until I changed the gearing. The new CVO/Champion conversion that I'm building will start out with the 30T front pulley for the above reasons. I did have a trailer hitch on the CSC but only used it for a cooler mount.

I found this site that sells the Trailer Hitch for the Tri Glide Models, Not cheap but the only I came across so far, I will be adding one to my trike later on after I get it.

Your warranty will be void if you install or the dealer installes the hitch.Yep...and installation must be by your authorized dealer or your warranty is void.
You'll also have to buy the $79.95 special ball mount to slide into the Harley 1.75" receiver. Of course there will be the Chrome version with laser engraved bar and shield for $125.95.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act says that a manufacturer cannot deny a warranty claim because of an aftermarket part, unless the part in question actually CAUSED the problem that the warranty claim is about.
Liability, liability, liability !!!!! That's all I heard, every other word. If they haven't tested it it will void your warranty. Actually told me that somebody might put a hitch on and pull a lawnmower, warranty voided. ??? Serious !!!!Mu dealer says no way. It all depends on who you talk to. Call HD Customer Service and ask them.Their # is 414-343-4056
Yep, might be old but when circumstances arise that effect you directly it becomes a current issue. I read thru all the 'old' responses and they could have been posted yesterday. Felt instead of starting a new thread to just add to the old. There are some 5-6 threads here addressing the same issues, re-inventing the wheel.You all responded to a 4-year thread? Boy, must be really slow around here!!!!
