Trailer Hitch for 2018+ Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: KU6771, SKU: KU6771
NOT fit for purpose
| I read what others said and found that the brackets fitted, but the hitch plate face was very poorly aligned with the mounting tabs , requiring cutting and welding. However there is a far more serious issue; WHO DESIGNED THIS THING? Vertical (downward) tongue weight forces (often quoted as 10% of gross trailer weight- more if a mono wheel trailer) are simply not addressed, except by the two M6 bolts which fit into little threaded blocks on the subframe. Remember that this weight is multiplied over bumps. The locating holes, far oversized for ease of locating, will allow movement under load, chattering and rapid wear to the inadequate bolts. The only way I could use this hitch was to add my own 45 degree brackets up to the frame under the seat. This took quite a while (similar idea as Rivco hitch), which is well up to the job. It remains to be seen as to whether my mod will provide the vertical strength required. BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT. Trailers can really spoil your day if the hitch is poor. |
