Debated between this trailer hitch and the staff pick Item #: AO451806 for $149. I sent an email to CWOLAW for his instructions. They were 12 pages long and required the loosening of the mufflers and saddlebags. (Not my cup of tea) He was wonderful for sending the instructions and his instructions were very detailed, but some people still had problems with gaps when reinstalling the body pieces. Taking the cost of time into consideration I chose the Kuryakyn and I am glad I did. The entire install took 2 hours from start to finish, even with making a mistake. I also installed the isolator with the relay Item #: AO451819. All this was included in the 2 hours. The only problem was I was installing the hitch onto a 2008. This years model has a box right smack dab in the middle in the back. It has a large heat sink and I am not sure what it is for, but I do know that it should be left alone. Despite this small difference the only thing I had to do was bend the c clamp part a little in order to get it behind the crossbar. There is very little space between the crossbar and the saddlebag. I had to force it but it did work. The only tow negative aspects to the whole process is the long bolts that attach the clamps to the bars going back are a little long and I had to be careful not the damage the saddlebags. Second is the bolts are different sizes and you need more sockets than they say are required. Overall a strong piece of equipment on the bike. I have no doubts that it can handle the trailer. |
