Trailer Hitches

[Steve 0080]

Are you going to move your license plate higher, or drive with the license plate hidden??

I have no plans to move the license plate but I did add a light! Next thing you will want turn signals!

I have hitches on both 1800s. The F6 has a Kury horizontal receiver type. The 02 Wing has a vertical. I ended welding a square tube under the draw bar on the vertical to make it easy to use my Pack-it Rack. I prefer the horizontal to the vertical because the vertical is a PITA to do anything with.

Ordered my Carryall today, are those the plates he talks about for the lights?

Thanks. That was part of what I was looking for. So you have been happy with the Kury hitch?

To those with the Rivco, so when you're not towing a trailer, you have that bar protruding through the fender? If not, how much of a PITA is that to remove and reinstall ?

Not really a problem. If you are young and can reach under the fender while kneeling, you just unclip the safety clip, pull the pin and then slide the towbar out the back. If you are older like me, and not as flexible anymore, just lay on the ground to reach the clip and pull the pin. Only takes less than a minute or two once you have practiced it a couple of times.

Jimmy... I hope ya don't mind me jumping' in here with a related question...

How about the electrical connection... what's the best way to mount the bike-side plug receptacle for the wiring?
Anyone got a pic or two?
Thanks!

How much clearance between the towing bar and the rear fender? I have a LED tail /brake light in a chrome piece at the bottom of my fender .

1" clearance at the top of the drawbar (where it goes through the fender) and almost 2" near the bottom of the fender. Hope this helps.

Yes, an additional $17...worth it if you want to add a light !!! I got a LED light bar from Tractor Supply for $34. Worked out great !!!
