Anyone know where I can get a hitch for new 2014 1800 valk. If I had known it was not available I wouldn’t have bought the bike.

I have never seen one for it. You might be able get one made for It, but I am not sure where you could mount it from that would be stable enough.

A gent at Inzane had one, it was a custom job with a one wheel trailer. I know he is on the Facebook Forum but not sure if he is here. I took a picture of his rig and the sticker he said was the company that made it. Armoric Design is the name and he said they have a web site but I have not yet checked.

Thanks. They make the one wheel trailer but probably not the hitch.

Can't help with a source, but I'd urge caution.
I don't know where the hitch assembly bolts on; but the GL1800 and the F6B both have welded subframes. The Valkyrie has a bolted subframe.

Can you post the photo. I am looking for a hitch and have no success in finding one that will work on the 2014 Valkyrie. |

[/color] I think this is wise advice. I seem to remember reading in either the Owner's Manual or the Honda Service Manual (I think Owner's) that the new Valk was specifically designed in such a way as to NOT be suitable for towing a trailer rig. I'm not saying it can't be done, most anything can, but be real sure of everything before you put someone you love on the pillon. |
