I had the Rivco on my 05 Wing. It attached directly to the frame and not too bad an installation. The Kury and Add-On hitches only attach to the saddlebag framework, which, IMO, is not designed to handle the stress of that kind of load.
A hitch that attaches to the bike's frame is the only way to go. Rivco and Bushtec are the only ones that do that, to my knowledge. On a Wing forum, there is a trailer sub-forum with excellent info from smart people. Check it out.

Because of your posting, timjoebob, I just purchased the Rivco (eight pounds total weight) for my Red Queen. I found the Escape diamond trailer being sold for a good price locally, and am going to pick it up tomorrow. Now to figure out the wiring....

This bike is SO much FUN to work on. This from someone who never even found the release latch for the engine on her former vehicles.
Thanks, timjoebob!

I have run the Chinese hitches low end price on all 3 Wings and never had a problem. The last was from Wing Stuff. I pull a Bunkhouse camper with my F6B and have rode through The Dragon. Piece of cake. I pull 300 lbs with less than 30 lb tongue weight. Any hitch will do.

If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
I have the Add On vertical hitch on my F6B ...also had one on my 07 Wing...I like them
I have an Add On from wing giant and have had no problems with it. This pic was taken after trailer was unloaded.
