It's a hidden hitch design w/ different accessories that will attach I.E., a cargo/luggage platform, trailer hitch/ball, flag holder, & I'm kicking around the idea of fabbing up a golf bag carrier. If there's enough interest, plan on marketing them. The wiring harness is plug/play. All parts are powder-coated. I plan on raffling one off at the M&G. All profits will be donated to the clinic
Can you give more details on the hitch, photos, price, when available, where etc???

I normally load my trailer so that I have about 20 lbs on my drawbar. It's a different concept though so I guess with a bit of testing you'd be able to establish the right balance.
Modular design is definately the way to go and with clip ons it adds more options to ride and travel styles.

I like that he's making a flag pole holder as well as the carrier and the hitch ball. The best parts are that it's the "Hidden Hitch" and has the plug/play light connector.
From what he tells me, the accessories are made very light weight but STRONG, so it allows you to add more weight instead of it being more weight.

everything's still in the prototype stage. The sub-frame weldment bolts onto/ inside of the existing sub-frame . Some trimming of the sub-frame is required. Also the inner fender must be trimmed also.

a right angle grinder w/ a cut-off wheel is the easiest way. More time is spent dis-assembling/ re-assembling the rear section of the bike. Bryan, who works for me(BH, if your reading this, THANKS for all your help)& I can install one in 2-3 hrs. Understand, we've torn my bike apart 20+ times. We have /offer OEM connecters, but some soldering may be required. I'll check w/ Bryan. For the first time person with good basic skills, a long afternoon in the garage should do it. An extra set of hands is also VERY helpful
