Installed a hitch on a Tri-Glide yesterday

[DK Custom Products]

Yesterday I installed a hitch on a Tri-Glide.

Photo of receiver, hitch and electrical. The electrical is made up on HD compatible connectors, a CanBUS module, an isolator, and connection to the trailer.

Receiver installed...bolted to the two cross-members below the trunk.

Hitch installed. Held in by a standard pin and clip. There is also a set-screw to keep it from rattling in the receiver.

Electrical all installed...it fits up under the passenger section of the seat.

Hooked up and working with a trailer.

I have thought about a hitch and trailer, just not sure yet. Jim

Looks good Kevin. I'm really thinking about installing a hitch on my Tri Glide as I had one on my 2009 Motor Trike conversion.

What brand of hitch is that one Kevin?

The one thing to be aware of, a hitch on a HD is going to almost assuredly void the warranty...not much of a way around that one.

The hitch is a one-off, built before they were readily available in the aftermarket.

I have my wiring harness set up to unplug within minutes and i can have the hitch off in about ten minutes if i need to take it in for warranty work.

My guess, if the dealer sees the holes for the hitch, it could set off the bell that something has been there. Jim

On the 17 it goes in factory holes,so once off it looks just like it rolled off the assembly line.

Yep, those holes go all the way back to the '09 MY too.

If I recall correctly, Lehman put them there specifically for hitches.
