Kuryakyn GL1800 Vertical Goldwing Trailer Hitch

Good hitch. Solid and easy install, took about 2 hours (but I'm slow).
As others have mentioned, the final bolt in the assembly interferes with the edge of the saddle bag. It's in an area nobody sees, so a few seconds with a Dremel and a grinding bit was all I needed to make it work.
Also mentioned above is the unknown box to the rear of the wheel on my 2010. I had to loosen the saddlebags for clearance to get the upper clamps in place. Very simple - removed only the top rearward bolt inside the saddlebag and it gave me just enough room.
I almost gave it three stars. My unit came loosely assembled (nice to see how it goes together) but the large bolt that joins the trunnion to the front clamp was cross-threaded in the assembly. Some dunderhead *knew* this was gonna be a problem but packed the darned thing up anyway. No big deal for me as I had the tools to fix it. Some other poor schmuck might not have been as lucky.
These three items are the reason for the 4 stars. There should be an addendum or revised instructions for these.

I am having trouble with the chrome brackets on the rear safety bars. No matter how I ajust the passenger floor boards touch and one side will not move. Any suggestions

works great i installed it myself not as hard as i thought it did take a couple hours but really no problems. only reason i give it four stars you would think kuryakyn would at least put standard bolts in it how hard would that be. also i thought mudflap was to costly so i made my own. it looks great i may add

I am very pleased with this hitch. I had it installed at the shop so I cannot speak to the installation. It is attractive when the receiver is installed; invisible when not installed. It is solid and exactly what I wanted. It required no alterations to the bike.
Highly recommend.

Just finished installing. If you are installing on a 2008 GW then you will probably need to file (I used a Dremmel tool) the bottom trim from your saddle bag just large enough to get the nut on the inside bolt. The only thing you need to remove from the bike is the back cover that holds the license plate. The install took about 2 hours including research time before the work began. Looks great and is very sturdy.
