Here is my new trailer... :lol:

I shall make me a trailer hitch for my GL1200 S.
I think I need some ideas, if someone have pictures
of a trailer hitch for a "naked" GL, please post it here,
or send pictures to me.

Zryder: Do you have a trailer hitch for your GL?

Thank.

This is the measurments of my home made hitch ; Everything is 1/4" mild steel flat bar and the back where the ball is bolted to is also 1/4" plate .

Please ask any questions Try , hope this gives you a good idea .

I have it mounted to the lower bolt of the back rest .

This is exactly what I'm looking for Zryder, I want a nice and clean
tailer hitch for my GL. That was great, full speed ahead!

Nice work Z!!

A big thank you Zryder tumb2

Thank you Try, I have to agree with that statement. Some of the guys in that group aren't afraid to try anything on a Gold Wing and the solutions they come up with are right on.
