I purchased this hitch when it was on sale a few months ago. I finally took time to install it, which I eventually got done, about 3 hours later. Issues that I had: The instructions left out a few key points, they stopped referencing simple things like adding the clock washers and flat washers as you read through the directions. The frame mounted brackets took a bunch of "finessing" (with a hammer) to get the bracket in to the spot it needed to be in.. the "box" on the inside rail had to be removed to install the main mounts, then after I finally got the main brackets mounted the H bracket holes didnt line up completely.. the tolerances seemed to be about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch, and that is simply not good enough to make an install easy. Lastly, my kit included 4 "extra bolts" that were not on the instruction list (or in the picture). It comes down to you get what you pay for... if I had to do it again, I'd spend more... |

| I had to use a tap on all the threaded holes and chase the bolts with a die because nothing would thread in the way it was.Should be better quality control than that.I am ASE master certified so not my first rodeo. |

This is a quality hitch with great instructions to follow. It takes a little time to get it mounted up but it is well worth it when you're done. Follow the directions and take time to lay all the parts out close to you while your lying on the ground so everything is at your fingertips!! Recommend this hitch to anyone!! Quality product!! |

After 5500 km, it still solid and looks good. No rust! Easy to install this item is a must if you want to pull behind. |

| Well, if ya like a tight fit, this is for you. But if you download and follow the updated instructions it's pretty straight forward. So far, I like it. |

| Hitch was a little tight to install. Harness was plug and play. Have had 3 years and no issues. Great product. |

| We just got this item and haven't installed it yet. My husbands wing already has a hidden hitch, but my bike now needs one, since we FINALLY found a Wags pet trailer for our dogs. But in searching the web, this is by far the best price. It's heavy duty and looks to be well made. We appreciate the pictorial install instructions directly linked on the product page. |

| I have actually bought 2 of these one is installed on my 2003 GL1800 with a Hannigan Sidecar and the other is on my Gl1800 Navi 2 wheeler. Did first install in April and another in May. Sidecar wsas more of a challenge but only took a little longer. The 2 wheeler was easier as a normal install took less than 2 hours even with a coffee break included.... now I can take the trailer with either bike. |
