    I have a 2013 F6B Deluxe and I realize it is a GL1800 something.....

    I want to get the correct hitch and $169 is a good price!

    HELP.

    Differences are 2010 and older 1st gen, 2012 and later 2nd gen. Saddle bag shape requires longer hitch and / or hitch head.

    I've got Rivco hitch, all aluminum and very light weight. Does require you to cut slot in rear fender for draw bar to go thru.
    Rivco hitch mounts to frame of bike like Bustec hitch.
    13 F6B Deluxe I've taken the road less traveled, now where the hell am I?
    I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just me !!

    Not a fan of cutting a hole in the rear panel.... in the pic to the left my hitch is installed just not the pin the trailer rides on....stealth !!!

    Well after talking to Tom about hitches I decided to use the 1st generation hitch
    from Rivco reason being as he told me the father the ball is behind the tire you
    loose some stability of the trailer as that distance gross.

    Just wondering why you cut your fender like that?
    I have a rivco in garage for f6 still in the box but instructions showed only a 1/4" x 3" slit be cut just below plate.
    It looks as you also cannot remove receiver from bike.

    naga viper it is cut because I used a pre 2012 Rivco hitch, and I wanted keep
    the ball as close to the rear tire as possible.
