Default receiver style trailer hitch

I am looking for a hitch, My old bike had one from MC Hitch USA, it appears that he is out for medical reasons, I have been waiting since December with no luck in reaching them. So i am looking for recommendations on which brand to get that is the least noticeable when receiver is removed. I can not use the vertical kind as i have a luggage box that slides in versus a trailer. I spent hours on google and ebay which left me with more questions than answers as most do not have more than one picture, If they dont show it on a bike I have a hard time spending $300-$400 on it.

So lets hear it? What brand hitch do you have and do you have a pic of it on your bike.

I also tried searching on this site before posting with zero luck.

I'm also a fan of the McHitch and have one on my 2011 Ultra.
Another option is a hitch from Khrome Werks. Don't know anything about them though.

Maybe this is still available and would work?

My 2008 FLHTC has one from a company called USA trailer store.

I picked up a Krome Werks from HitchDoc unit for my '00 softail many, many years ago.
Never had a problem with it. It survived the bike being totaled and I still use the same unit after the rebuild. If I had to do it all over from scratch, I'd go back to them in a heartbeat!

Wiring up for the trailer lighting was harder than installing the hitch and the support framework was so solid, I used it to custom mount fiberglass bags on my softail (back before they had kits you could buy).

I use a hitch from N-Line that I pull my N-LINE trailer with. Looks good without the trailer and is very easy to put the hitch in.

That's not like any hitch I've ever gotten from HitchDoc. Had HitchDoc's on both my '02 and my '12 Ultras. Pull the pin on the ball and the hitch pretty much disappears. I put well over 100,000 mile with our trailer tied to their hitch. No problems. Good product, good people. www.hitchdoc.com

when did you make your purchase from hitchdoc? I picked mine up back in '03 or a little earlier.

Like I said... (and seen at the bottom of the diagram page) it is a Khrome Werks manufacturer hitch. Entirely possible they've switched suppliers or come up with a design of their own over the last 14 years.

I don't mind the ball staying there and being visible. Looks tough and makes a great fender guard too.

Got my first HitchDoc when they were located on a farm southwest of Worthington, Mn. I was really surprised by the quality when I saw the shop. Got my second one in 2012. By then they had a new plant located off I-90 in Jackson, Mn.
