Over 180 Heavy Duty Motorcycle Trailer Hitches Available.
Most of our Motorcycle Trailer Hitches mount in a very similar fashion.
The draw arms or pull arms usually attach to the passenger foot peg mounts or the muffler mounts.
The upright weight bearing arms usually attach to the frame, on the fender brackets, saddle bag mounts or sissy bar mounts.
They are bolt-on and inmost cases you don't have to make any permanent changes to your motorcycle.
Our Motorcycle Trailer Hitches are designed to pull a 650 pound trailer with a 65 pound tongue weight.
Some Motorcycle and Trailer History:
Just about every kind of vehicle has towed a trailer at one time or another, so why not a motorcycle?
Way back in the early 1900's when motorcycles first hit the road, a trailer was used to transport a rider's lady friend behind his motorcycle.
Because of poor hitch connections, etc. the ladies were frequently lost.
The rider had to constantly look over his shoulder to ensure she was still there.
They had to stop quite frequently to clean off mud and manure, because the streets were not paved and they also had to be shared with teams of horses.
Then they tried to put the passenger carrier in front, like a shopping cart. This proved to be too scary for the passenger.
Another solution was to put the carrier beside the motorcycle.
Thus came the sidecar!
With bigger and sturdier motorcycles, the passenger was moved to the pillion position, behind the rider and the trailer wasn't used for a long time.
With Honda coming to the America's and motorcycles becoming more reliable transportation, the trailer slowly became more popular.
