Default Trailer Hitch advice.

Never purchased a trailer hitch for a bike before. Looking for advice on one for my 2014 limited.

I saw this one on the internet: http://www.openroadoutfitters.com/in...roducts_id=433

Is it worth it???

Any suggestions if not.

Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend N Line trailers and hitches. Their hitch is really easy to install, does not look like crap on your bike, and can be used with any trailer. Thanks, Grant.

Thanks guy's for the advice. So far I do like the FBI hidden hitch. I like the idea of using Stainless Steel because I ride all year round and up here in Minnesota we are known for pouring on the salt in the winter time. Using Stainless would be on less thing to rust and I also like the idea that it is completely hidden when not in use.

I know this is not an important point cause even the MC hitch guys get it wrong, just a rant:
The receiver is the hitch on the bike, It receives the DRAW BAR. The draw bar is not the receiver. Look at any hitch manufacturers site (car or truck).
The hitch on the bike is called the Receiver because it is female and receives various types of draw bars as long as the male bar is the same dimension as the receiver.
Whew, got it off of me chest.
