Pulling Trailers
#41
I have a Bushtec Turbo 2+2 with two tone paint matching my 1500 Goldwing SE.
1. Is there a preferred 1-1/4" reciever hitch that can be recommended for my 2014 FLHTCU?
2. Anyone recommend or give information on repainting the trailer to match my Vivid Black bike? Or a great company to use?
Thanks in Advance

I went with an N-line hitch. There are several manufacturers to choose from, but I’m happy with the fit and finish of mine. They are not cheap.

I have the Bushtec "Hidden Hitch" ( vertical receiver type ) on my 2009 FLHTCU ... Works like it's supposed too ... Painting the trailer is just a question of how much money you want to spend ... I know Bushtec will ( at least they used to ) paint to match ( even a used trailer ) but they are a bit pricey ... A quick tour of local body shops in your area may help ... "Vivid Black" is pretty much universal black ... matching shouldn't be a problem

Have you thought about having your trailer vinyl-wrapped, instead? Lots of folks doing that nowadays, instead of expensive paintwork.

We've had this trailer since about 1984 and this is the 5th or 6th bike that's pulled it. It's a "cycle mate" and really pulls nicely. Don't really even know it's back there except under heavy braking when the trailer is heavily loaded. It's been a joy to pull and very handy to have. Usually end up hauling stuff for everyone in the group!
