Are you sure you have enough power for a trailer? Maybe a little wagon...

Nice hitch......

However, your thread title made me question clicking on it....


Brand hitch?

I have been thinking about one for the R as well, so I dont have to throw my bike in the back anymore....

Of course there is enough power, towing about 800lbs. It's the braking that I'll have to take caution with, but I use Spec B pads for street so I should be fine.

that is what I was thinking.....judging by the small amount of sticker that is on it......

straight bolt on?

no cutting required?

very easy, even for me

pull bumper off.
bolt up.
put bumper back on.

No cutting or hacking ish up.
Just had to use two zip ties instead of the bottom bolts on the bumper- no big deal.

Nice!
That would also be a great place to "connect" a rear tow hook! hehe

The R I bought has a hitch on it. I need to remove it as I have no need for it. I was HOPING I wouldn't have to pull the bumper off to remove it.

Rear bumper isn't very difficult to remove if you do.

correct!
four 10mm nuts inside.
two phillip screws out side.
two 10mm bolts on the bottom.
Four 17mm bolts inside.
don't forgt to unclip the licence plate lighting wire..
Should take no more then 40 mins.

Trust me, I'll be taking it very easy towing! I have no plans of killing anyone or myself.

Well I found it much easier to get it out of the way, since I never put a hitch on before... And yes, I'm ROB!


Please dig out those pictures!! I would have but they are on my old hard drive and in boxes...
