ST1300 Trailer Hitch Options?

[tankereng]

What are my options for a hitch for my ST1300 and where can I find one?

I like the uni-go hitch but at $110 the hitch ball adapter is too expensive....:eek:

I'll likely be pulling a small 2-wheel trailer in the future...P^

You could probably go to a welder and get a ball hitch made. I have a chrome ball/arm from the wing that you can have if you want to take it and have a welder play with it.

You would only need the plate w/holes to bolt to the unigo hitch and the the actual ball.

The only other hitches I've seen for the ST1300 are homemade.

Denray makes one I think.

I'm in Arlington not far from the stadium and if you would like to make the trip I'll show you or even make one for you for the cost of parts I custom make things like this but have to be able to see what I'm putting it on

LOL and I only paid $60 to a hitch place to make a adapter like the one the uni-go sells .
But your way of getting a different hitch type seems a bit extreme ..

Though a nice choice overall as I like that color
Wouldnt want to buy a Uni-Go trailer now would you:eek:

Yes.... Can I...no... :( Don't have $2800 laying around....Doh!

[ImRubicon]

but mines less than that and you could have it painted to match for less then a new one LOL . OF course you would then need a adapter for it to mount to the wing hitch and be starting all over again

Nice why the change?

[Ironheadziggy76]

It was just too pretty to leave at the STealer...and the SO is even more comfortable on the back...we went out yesterday for the afternoon and she lasted the whole day with no problem....rode about 300 miles... :D And I get to Farkle more....the ST was Farkled out....

I know sometimes it hard to keep the SO happy when it come to which motorcycle to ride. Their always me me me I guess the new bike will keep her happy for a while. :rolleyes:

[trapperdick]

Nice ride,,,,,,,,,just like mine,,,,,,,even the color...........and that is the fastest color!!

[tankereng]

We put 300 miles on it Sunday...it was nice...the Stock GL seat is hands down more comfortable that the sargent on my ST...But then again...is is a Wing...:D

Im waiting on what comes out next month before I trade on anything who knows maybe a GL2000

I doubt a new wing will be announced 'til next year this time. Maybe a mid-year announcement... but, who knows, I might be wrong... should be cool to see what they do with a bike that is already setup pretty darn well.

[ImRubicon]

Could also be something new in a ST so \who knows , I sat on the new VFR in the shop and its a tad smaller ergos . Didnt seem bad just not enough room for my arse and legs
Mellow you would most likely fit better ?
We also need a post about the International Motorcycle show in Dallas as I have a room reserved already

Pretty darn well? I'd pretty darn fantastic! P^P^ Got my rear Spoiler in today...project for this weekend....Man I hate to drill into a new bike....LOL

Don't worry, it's easy... Honda even thought about it beforehand... there will be circles w/+ in the middle helping you drill the right location... if you look inside your trunk on the left side, you'll see the same thing where you would need to drill for the CB antenna..

One thing I did miss was all the connectors there were just sitting there waiting for a honda or aftermarket item to plug in.

Can't afford one... if I'm going to spend close to 20k for a bike I'd get another wing.

Actually, I think they are closer to the ST1300 price - around 15k - but even if that is the case, I'd get another ST1300... or look at the C14 or FJR.

I have a DenRay on my '03 ST1300. It was near $250 if I remember right. Makes changing the rear tire a real PIA but pulls my Leesurlite very well.
