alwrmcusn Posted July 15, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2012 I had my '09 RSV triked about 3 months ago. We immediately took a four day ride down the Natchez Trace Parkway. Having some time now to evaluate and I've given some thought to possibly (possibly only) getting a trailer. I did not have a hitch installed when I had the trike conversion done. Would I need to have the Hannigan installer do the hitch or is that something I can pickup and install? If it's something I can do, where might I look for the hitch?

Carbon_One Posted July 15, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 15, 2012 Me? Well I did build a hitch for Ragtop69gs's trike. Let me check to see if I wrote down the plans I used to build his. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted July 15, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2012 Yes, and you may be better off with Larry's version, depending on what trailer you use. With the stoch Hannigan hitch it puts the tongue of a standard trailer waaaay too low. I invderted mybolt in ball piece and the ball, and added a huge spacer between the ball and the plate but it is still too low! The hitch setup is designed for the Hannigan trailer...

Cougar Posted July 15, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2012 And while your at it.... add his plug and play aux tank if you have the body removed. one of the best mods I have ever done. maybe you already have the extra tank? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwrmcusn Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted July 15, 2012 It's just a thought at this time, but JFI, what would that hitch cost and could I install it myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted July 15, 2012 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2012 I'd say $125 plus shipping. And it'll be a bolt on operation but you will have to drill a couple holes in the frame above the differential. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted July 16, 2012 Share #8 Posted July 16, 2012 If you can't find the drawings for the hitch we can do some measuring when I drop off the windshield brackets I made for you. Maybe tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted July 16, 2012 Share #9 Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks Jay. Got the drawing thou so only a matter of cutting and welding up some steel. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
