I should have looked at this thread earlier... just ordered a hitch out of Canada from Trailers Etc. cost me $249.00 US shipped. Will post an update when I receive it for my 2008 R3T I just got.... Ride fast all!

Got word today from TRAILERS-ETC out of Canada that they have refunded my money and sent a message that there is an eternal backorder...... BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR A HITCH I GUESS... Ideas anyone?

Hey Rocky
I have a hitch from Trailer inc in Canada . It is a very easy hitch to fabricate . I just happened to have taken it off to do some work on the rear end of my bike . I believe I could actually stencil it out on crap paper . It can be cut out of ½ or ⅝ steel plate . This you could have done at a steel shop & it would probably be much cheaper . Let me know if your interested and I would work on this during the weekend . I would send picture of hitch on and of the bike No charge , just helping out .

Chip... did you ever build these? I would like one. Thanks

I’m sorry your model is totally different from the Touring model. Your bike has a few suppliers making a good product. Actually the price that was listed is below what I expected.

I guess Ive been confused. If we are all talking about a Touring model, i can probably find the last unit I have boxed up.

Good news and bad news. I looked for the last hitch and it’s not in the shop. I must have sold it. So, I’m back up to 4 riders who want one. I’m back in the hitch building mode. Should have them in a couple of weeks.

Funny thing is, I had it so long, I don't remember which parts are part of the bike, and which go with the hitch. I think there was a strut that went across that I no longer have, I'll have to look at a parts fiche. The hitch I think replaced a strut that went side to side to keep bags from sagging, but I'm pretty sure the hitch is Touring specific.

. . . . and tis in such sweet condition as well!

I’m going to build 4 hitches for the Rocket III Touring. If you want one, send me a personal message. The price is $175 as before.
The shipping cost will be charged to the buyer.
