Default Trailer Hitch

I'm looking for a hitch for my 2012 Limited that will install with 4 bolts (or so) without taking the bike apart for the install. My thought is that when I need to take the bike in for maintenance, I could just take the hitch off before taking it in to avoid warranty issues. Also, if out on the road away from my dealer (who doesn't care if I have a hitch) I could pull it off quickly.

Hoping someone will have a suggestion.

I have the mchitch on my 2009 Electra Glide Ultra Classic, very easy to install and take off. I also have the trailer wiring kit from mchitch.

I bought a used hitch off ebay for 100 bucks, has like 4 bolts a side. You can easily reach all the bolts with the saddle bags off
