I had one on my Wing that I just sold and will install one on the F6B sometime late this summer. It'll be a Rivco hitch since it attaches to the frame and not the saddlebag supports.

I'm making a trip to the Hannagan factory in Murray KY to look at their trailers and their trailer hitches. Not sure when I'm going cause I'm still waiting to get my bike back from the dealer for repairs. Phil I'll post up some info for you when I get back.

Guess I was sleeping on the job and missed this post.... I have an Add on from wing giant. Easy install and fairly cheap $169. Pulled my tag along from Ga to va state line and back. Leaveing out in morning for Ohio with trailer.
It is easyer to install than the directions say.It says to remove mufflers but with a second hand to hold the pull bars in place you can do it without removal.

Wild Bill thanks for the post, I like the hitch coming out under the body panel and not have to cut a hole in my panel.

yes he is, and he really likes to ride in the trailer, the trailer has a divider in it for all my camping gear, the hole in the trailer is a deck hatch from a boat that can be capped, with the screw on lid and is water tight , the trailer also has cold air vents in front of the windshield cold inside air. the windshield is the stock f6b shield. also working on a blower for hot weather, we sell bushtec trailers the are really good all air suspension, a and oiled damped, i can raise the trailer and lower it with my air compressor that is in my saddle bag, it really ride better then my bike. 50 mph railroad crossing the trailer does not even move going across the tracks. the trailer is rock solid even at 100 mph. dale

I was up at the store today talking to Jeff about a Bushtec for my F6 (I bought the first Red one from South Sound Honda)........still haven't made up my mind yet, but I like the color of the Dark Star. Is the wiring for the trailer difficult......of course you guys would install the hitch and wiring for me, but I'm just curious.

the wiring and the bushtec hitch are not bad to do, i am sure they have one made now, i had to remake a gl1800 bustec hitch to fit my f6b, but i could also do that for you if needed. thanks dale

Just received the Bushtec hitch in the mail....may install this Wed...apparently I need a hand for part of it and the baby has the day off from college .......

Well I did have time to install the Bushtec Hitch...and have to say having never installed one and or tore into the bike so deep it was really easy...I did have the baby home from college to read the directions and give a hand...fairly easy directions and there are some videos on line as well...I read everything and watched the videos before starting...Bushtec uses Electrical Connections wiring and it as well has good directions... The only part I did, that was not necessary was loosing the mufflers...I did not drop them down as I did not think it would be necessary...and it was not...I did contact a fellow member for some confidence building on the wiring...About 4 hours from beginning to end...great hitch, ALL hidden...now to wait on the trailer...I did order the very first Black F6B trailer , the trailer will mimic the back of the F6B except for a larger tag to the tee...the trailer should be at my front door by August 10th.....can't wait!!!!!

I have been reading all the preferences on hitches and haven't decided yet. Is there one that's better than the other for tire changes? What has to be removed for a tire change? Thanks for your reply.

What i don't see on your hitches is a cable connection to the trailer. I mean the cable connection for the lights. Is it not necessary in the US? Or ist it hidden somewhere underneath?

GNW……On a Bushtec hitch there is a center section that comes out when you remove the rear tire…

Kurare…. the safety chains hook up under the “ball” for the hitch and the light plug is stuffed up the fender until needed…..

you may be able to see the chains and cable in this pic?

When I took the rear tire off my bike I just lifted the bike in the air on my floor jack and only removed the tire...
