Not saying no one but CSC already makes one .... but I'd be surprised if they did as it's a pretty limited market.
Just before we bought a trike, I built a receiver hitch for my 1200, then after we got the trike (1500 Lehman) .... which came with a flat bar drawbar only .... and as I wanted a receiver hitch .... I built one for it as well. I've also done them for several cars & pu trks over the years.
If you get someone handy with cutting & welding .... make sure to look at all stresses .... and do not weld it on ....
make it removable.
Meant to add ..... if you do build or have built a receiver ..... go with a 1-1/4" receiver size (the larger 2" is way overkill, adds weight and takes away clearance). Flat bar is easier to build sometimes, but a receiver adds utility .... options like "hitch rack". Give careful thought to loads imposed by a trailer as well as a rack hanging off the back and brace for it. Roads are bumpy.
Totally agree. Not a hard thing to do. I built one for my wife's Motortrike kit. You can see what needs to be done. Put everything together and had a friend weld the frame work together then drilled and bolted it to the trike frame where the factory one is supposed to go.
