Done a little searching but need advice from those of you that actually use a trailer hitch.

I have an 04 FLHTCI with the Saddlebag Filler Stip (goes between the fender and saddle bag)



I am going to be riding with the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) - and I want to flag our Flag - The flag holders attach to a trailer hitch..

This idea is starting to add up $$$$$$$ lol

So, my question to you that run with trailers - who makes the best/better hitch at the best prices.. don't need wiring - never plan to pull a trailer - just fly two flags.

doesn't really need to be hidden. trying to save a few $$ but not go really chaep. Retired now and live on a budget.

Thanks for your advice

 

www.mchitch.com He will do you well.

 

Most of the PGR guys with touring bikes that I've ridden with are using the Rivco flag mount, that will allow you to use 1 - 3 flags, depending on how you configure it. It's removable, so when you aren't flying flags, it's not seen.

Hitchdoc and Mchitch make the nicest hitches, pricey +$400. I have a Hitchdoc on my '10 RG.
I had a Kuryakyn on my '05 & '07 Ultra's. They are going to be the least expensive and I've seen them on ebay for under $100.
The Kuryakyn mounts low and uses the rear fender bracket, so the filler strips should not be a problem.

 

bushtec.com works well for me

 

$400.00 for a trailer hitch should include the trailer IMHO...

Made my own out of scrap I had layin around for just a few dollars...


Got a friend with a welder and some paint?

 

Great advice and Thank You..

I need to look at the Rivco flag mount set up.... for those that run this... do the flags need anyother support - to keep them from bending or breaking?

 

I pull a 700 pound trailer with my Kury hitch. See no reason to spend $300+ for some of the others.

 

+1. It even pulls trailers, too. It bolts up to your fender braces, so make sure it will clear those fillers.

 

Mchitch sells a hitch for my bike at $196.00

I need to call them
