    I am forced to concur with my Florida brother...the Bushtec is a very fine product. Had a couple of them over the years, and really like the trailers...and their trailer hitches.

    Bushtech doesn't specify that their 2012 Wing hitch will fit the 2013 F6B.

    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!
