Default Looking for pics of an installed Khrome werks hitch

Got the hitch used, and I'm having trouble locating good install instructions with pics. I am a visual person, but the only thing I found was a written PDF instruction sheet.

Would like to see pics of the mounting points.

MC Hitch Directions ... Might be useful?

Thanks!

This one installs a bit different, but this may come in handy.

There are a couple hitch install videos on youtube that might help.

Yeah, looked on you tube nothing on the KW.

Hitch is finally on, and bike is back together. What a pain in the *** this was. Especially comparing to the vids I watched on YouTube. Had to pull the rear fender(we'll drop it anyway, to remove a washer so the mount would fit. Lots of stuff had to be removed, was very time consuming. Still need to get a ball, not going out to get one tonight. So no test ride tonight.

What a pain in the ***. The bottom bolt went through 4 different pieces, I couldn't get the right side lined up and the bolt through. Spent over an hour and a half on that last step.

All in all, it was a job I don't think I want to repeat. Gonna grab a ball when I'm out tomorrow so I can test it out.

About 4.5 hours in on installing it. Time for a beer, 😂

I'll buy you a beer if ever we meet ... Doin' it blind ( installing the hitch ) must have been a pain. Mine was pretty easy, of course I had directions. Glad you got it on. :>)

Jun in case someone else is looking for info on this hitch, here a a few pics of the install. Had to pull the fender struts, unbolt the fender and drop it so the top mount could be bolted to the fender and then to the frame.

Ended up having to pull the slip ones and the saddlebag crash bars to get the fender struts back on and the bottom bolt through.




Installed 1



Installed 2



Top mount on fender, not bolted to the frame yet.



Bottom mount (inside Bolt)

Had to give her a rip even though I'm not quite legal yet. Seriously, other than doubling my length, it rides like it's not even back there.

Got the wire harness on, super easy install, and works great! Truly plug and play with a direct hook up to the battery.

Now, what do I do with the pigtail? I just have it rolled up and tucked under my seat for now.
