Great buy. Don't recall having problems with instructions but I don't don't usually read ver-batum anyway. Have found it less hassle to remove rear tire by jacking bike up 3-4 inches above center stand height and sliding tire out side. Cross member is too tight to mess with. Pulled Hannigan Sierra trailer from KC to West coast and back (4900 miles) No problems. Love it. |

Installed this last weekend. Install took about 2 hours, my son helped with half the install. I read the instructions, they do suck, ended up just doing the install by trial and error fitting. The installation ended up looking very nice. Do not intend, at least yet, on towing a trailer. My brother-in-law built me a cooler rack from plans I drew up and I plan on using that for hauling extra stuff. Like the way that hitch is hidden from view once you remove the ball. This product is a great value compared to others I have seen on the web. Would love to see add-on respond to customer comments on the lousy instructions. I have heard other complaints about add-on's instructions with other products as well. Maybe they could hire some of us to write their instructions. |

Installed this hitch to my '02 GL1800 last weekend. I must agree with the other reviewers, in that the instructions leave a lot to be desired. But all in all, this is a pretty good hitch for the money. My only disappointment in the design is that the two rings that you fasten your trailers safety chain to, could have been built stronger IMHO. Other than that, the hitch appears to be well built and should serve it's purpose quite well. |

Well made! Solid attachment to bike! No "fit" problems at all on my 04' GL1800. As noted by many others, the instructions suck - hence, it took two hours to do what should have only taken an hour. I'm not sure just how many generations of a "photo copy of a copy" that the instructions came from, but the pics were not viewable at all and totally useless. I e-mailed Add-On and they sent me a "clean" version, but the photos, although original and in color, were'nt all that clear, so I fully documented my installation, including high resolution pics! I also included information and steps that I think should have been in the original instructions to make it easier to understand and move through the installation. Would be more than happy to share them if anyone wants it! Just e-mail me! Over all - I love the product and it fit my 04' like a glove. |

The hitch is made really pretty good, the instuctions leave a lot to be desired. Pretty easy to install. Ball is a little close to the fender so you really have to be careful not to ding the fender. |

Had my service tech install this hitch and he tells me it's the easiest he has ever installed! I love the hidden design when not in use, plus, the price can't be beat! |

I think the best advice for this product, is don't get discouraged. If your doing this in your garage, it might be a little overwhelming, only because it takes a lot of time underneath your bike. I was lucky enough to have a neighbor with a bike lift, which made it a snap. It made it real easy, because there was two of us, the holes didn'nt line up exactly perfect, but, with two of us, one could tweak it a little, while the other started the bolts. All in all, it was a snap to put on, looks great, and works great. Instructions said to loosen the exhaust, we didn't do that, we just took the saddlebag mounting bolt out, and the rest was a snap. |

For the price it's a great hitch but I don't like the way it's fitted. The forward mounting points need to be sandwiched between the frame and the saddlebag frame. This forces the saddlebags out at the bottom and it's quite noticeable when you go to reinstall the rear mudguard. No problems with holes lining up but it does seem to be a very tight fit. Maybe that's good, but it makes it a little awkward. Thought instructions were OK and it took me about an hour on my own. |

Really like the way this hitch is hidden, and is easy to remove the hitch for changing a tire or just to remove the hitch itself..Guess the only thing I can say against it, is it is not built as heavy as it should be.. Went to Alaska pulling a trailer and rough roads caused the hitch to break off.. Normal conditions would have been fine but Canadian roads are not the norm.. |

I really like this hidden hitch by Add On. It did take a couple of hours to install by myself, but well worth it. |

This is a hefty hitch for a great price. The instructions have some areas which need some improvement, but if you take your time, use your head and take a few deep breaths, it's an easy install. Install it and use the saved money for a trip. |
