Default 2011 Triglide trailer hitch

Does anybody know who makes a hitch for the 2011? Rivco makes it for the 09 and 10 but with the 11 being made by HD, there is a rear frame change and the 10 and earlier won't fit.

My 2010 Tri-Glide was made by Harley...at least they said it was. There
are no trike kit booklets with trike!

I don't think they changed anything with the rear frame because the back bumper PN 83825-09 fits 09 to present.

PM me and I will send you some plans to make one on your own for a lot less that you pay to purchase one. Mine is "proven" pulling a pretty heavily loaded trailer and I can stand on it and jump up-n-down. Bolts right on the two frame cross members. That is....unless the MOCO did not install frame members in the 2011. Purchase one for $300-plus, or build this one for $100-or-less....your call.

I've got a Hitch Doctor on my 2010 Ultra. Was $350 installed with the wiring harness. There are a couple of plugs for the rear lights, make sure you get the right one or you will go nuts trying to figure it out

Default 2011 Tri Glide Hitch

I kept the hitch from dmcsidecars.com that fit my 2010 TG to put on my 2011 TG. IT WON'T FIT, HD changed the mount locations. dmcsidecars are looking for a 2011 TG owner for a pattern to build one. They are located in Seattle, WA. They told me they would give the Hitch to the 2011 TG owner for letting them take the measurements for the new Hitch. My luck once again I live to far away.

Where does the hitch bolt up to? I would have thought it would have been the same spot the chrome rear bumper they sell bolts to, the bumper is still listed as fitting 09 to present.

If someone wants to send me a photo of the underside of the frame and maybe take some mounting-hole measurements....I bet I can come up with a fix. Lots of trike owners are using my hitch plans to build their own for a lot less than the commercial ones. If I can get the info...I can re-design my mounting plate.
