    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!

    We have installed the Kuryakin hitch. The fit and finish is beautiful and the receiver is removable. When the hitch arm is on it clears the bottom of the fender and does not look out of place. 6 mounting points and all hidden, except for one bolt under each saddle bag. LOVE this piece of hardware.

    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.

    You should have put a Harley on that trailer for a pic. It would be priceless

    I have been thinking about trailering a sport bike to the sweet spots with the 6. Has anyone ever seen this done or have any thoughts about this?

    If you find a light enough trailer, why not? Here's one:
