Great looking & very easy to install! This hitch features a 6-point mounting system for superior strength & rigidity. Installation can be performed easily with the bike on it’s center stand & requires only a few common hand tools. When installed, the mounting framework is completely out of sight. Only the hitch ball assembly & front mounting points are visible. The rear support plate is easily removed for quick & effortless tire changes. The new Hitch for ‘12 GL1800 is similar to this proven style but tailored specifically to the new model. Updated front mounting points are almost hidden & a horizontal receiver extends just to the stretched back fender. Add the Trailer Wiring Harness & Trailer Receptacle Kit to match your trailer for everything you need. There is no stronger, easier to install hitch available from any source, at any price!
