Excellent hitch. Solid and easy to install. Buy this hitch. Don't settle for the cheaper version. This hitch installs solidly without lowering your pipes or otherwise disassembling your scooter. |

Another Kuryakyn joke. From the beginning. (1)The saddlebag claps are heim joint were apparently preassembled with a torque wrench. Had to pad bench vice to loosen fastners before installation could even begin. (2) The rear plate is attached using 4 clamps to frame. These clamps have a threaded insert predded onto the clamp. Supposed to anyway, one clamp did not have the threaded insert in place. Also be sure to run the bolt through the threads before installing to clean the paint from the threads. (3) Alignment of the saddlebag bar clamps & the heim joint was impossible on the left side. These clamps should have an elongated opening to allow adjustment. I had to modify the clamp to secure it to the guard. (4) The locknut that is supposed to be installed on the heim joint bolt is absolutely impossible to access. I checked another Wing with the exact same hitch, it was not on there as well. As stated before on another rating thread, the instruction sheets are nearly useless. I should have learned from previous experience with Kuryakyn products to stay clear. This venture has convinced me to do just that. If there were a rating lower than 1 star that would have been my choice. Far too much investment for this poor of a product. Installation time including needed modifications was 4 hours. |

Great product! Easy to install once I got my "Operator Head Space" resolved. Because I use the cooler rack (item #RIGL18010) quite often, I recommend getting the exhaust turndown extensions (item #KU7606). The extensions help keep the heat off what you are carrying. |

Used it tow times so far. one 2000 mile trip and just got back from a 6000+ trip. pulled a HF trailer loaded and once the bike got blown over while parked with my wife on it. no twisting etc. Very happy with it. Just bought the Rivco Cooler rack for it. fits and works great also. |

One of the most out of alignment things I ever put on my bike. Nothing lined up the way the instructions said they would. Never did figure them out. Dont know if it is because of my bike is an 2008 or what. Kuryakyn didn't do themselves any favors in my book this time. |

Out of all the hitches I read about on this site, this seemed the easiest to install. I happened to luck into one on E-Bay and yes it didn't come with instructions. I downloaded instructions from Kuryakyn site and could increase the size to make everything clear. The fact that there is no need to loosen exhaust pipes or saddle bags is a big plus. Took me about 45 minutes to install and with no other help. read thru directions a couple of times before starting and never checked again while installing. Even installed the mud flap that came with it. Haven't pulled a trailer yet seeing that I don't have one but feel that it will be no problem. Hope that this helps some you with the purchase of a hitch. Ride safe and enjoy ! |

4 stars only for bad instructions works great once you figure out how it fits. |
