Default Trailer Hitch Question

OK, headed out for Billings MT next Thursday, need to buy or build a hitch for the TG.

I looked under the TG body and see the four bolts in the cross member, but I don't see under the liner inside the trunk where the bolts come through.

Does the hitch bolt to these four holes? Are they ( holes) threaded? do I have to drill through the bottom of the body and bolt it there?
I'm running out of time, I was going to build one, and still may, don't know if I can get one shipped to me in time.

Also, I have a "jumper" plug from my 2010 RG, plugs into the rear wireing harness and allows you to connect trailer lights, will this work on the TG?



Any help on mounting a hitch would be appreciated.

Well I'll honored to put a hankshake on ya at the convention, you know what the TG looks like and we'll be pulling a Scarlet Red Bushtec Roadstar...we're staying at the host hotel, booked that at last years convention...

As for the Dauntless hitch, I just have a hard time paying 300+ for a simple hitch, not much to the TG hitch, no bends and such.
Found one from MCHitch for 209.00....may have to go with that one if I don't make my own.

I too will be arriving on Sun and staying at the host hotel. Looks like we'll need a "special" area for the Ultra Tri Glides!
