Trailer tongue is junk
| Had hitch installed at Honda dealer when I bought my 2023 Tour DCT. First hitch had to be returned because it was not manufactured correctly and didn't fit. Last weekend I took it for a short trip of 300 miles to see how it would hold up. The metal on the tongue is so thin that after only 300 miles it bent down a quarter of an inch. I had to replace the whole hitch with a Rivco GW007. The metal on the tongue is 3 time thicker. Do not buy this Kuryakyn hitch. |

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. |

Instructions (Poor)
| My son and I spent almost three hours installing this hitch., which have been a 45 minute install! The instructions lack a lot to be desired! Pictures and instructions you can’t tell the left from the right on the parts. A lot of trial and error went into this project! |

Trailer hitch
| This hitch works fine for my 2018 Wing. In fact it’s my second hitch I’ve bought because I lost my first 2018 Wing in a flood. |

Welding required
| The mounting tabs didn't line up with the frame of my brand new never damaged bike. They were over an inch off. I had to cut and wild to make it fit correctly. I'm waiting to hear back from Wingstuff after I sent the pictures they requested. Agree with others that stamping the parts would make installation much easier. |

Great Product
| The product itself gets 5-stars. It is exceptionally easy to install, with one exception... that being Kuryakyn says, "Remove the grommets in the saddlebags." As if that is easy to do without further instructions? It isn't. For those who buy this, in order to remove the grommets in the saddlebags, you have to push them through the top to the bottom. Knowing this bit of information, it isn't a hard installation at all. Otherwise, you might spend a lot of time like me trying to figure out how the heck to get those grommets out. The bottom of the saddlebag grommet has a steel washer, so you can't pull them out from the top. In my case, I had my wife push them through while I put pressure on the saddlebag (pushing outward so the grommet would clear the mounting bracket). Anyone can do this installation relatively quickly, and it looks and works exceptionally well. I just wished Kuryakyn would have included a one-sentence instruction for removing the saddlebag grommets. Beyond that lack of instruction, great product! |

Kuryakyn hitch
| I've been riding Gold Wing's since my college days when I bought a brand new 1976 GL1000. Over the years I've had many Kuryakyn products and have been pleased with all of them. I've waited to buy a trailer hitch for my new bike until Kuryakyn developed one. I've not pulled a trailer yet but the product appears to be of the quality you would expect from Kuryakyn. The instructions were easy to follow but I had 2 issues with the installation. First, how hard would it be for Kuryakyn to stamp the parts (for example, left side front, this side up). That would be nice. The hardest part of the whole install was removing the saddlebag grommets. The instructions are written as if it is as easy as removing a screw. It is not. They are very hard to remove and a little guidance would have been helpful. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the product and look forward to using it. |
