Found this on eBay and I don't recall ever seeing one like this.  I asked the seller for the Honda Part Number or to verify the brand.  I am thinking it might be for a GL1500 Wing ??   Anyone have or seen one like this?

Hi Pa Mine is almost exactly like that. The reason for the seller saying "Tourer" is that the hitch fits into where the cross brace for the saddle bag goes. The chrome bar right behind the rear tyre.The braces ,in the picture,go up to the rear fender bolts on the  fender rails. Have used mine for many miles over 3 years and no problems at all.

Interesting.  So would it work on an I/S as well?   Is that a Honda brand hitch or an aftermarket of some sort?

Hi Pa Mine is on my I/S. It was made by a firm in Toronto years ago and I picked it up second hand for 50 bucks.Mine is a just abit different as the receiver will come out but I have left it there since the beginning.

Thanks.   I sure didn't think that tubing was enough to support a hitch (even with the little brackets).... but  it must be I guess.

Someone was looking for a hitch in an earlier post, for flags I believe, so maybe this will be another option to support his endeavors (if he reads it).

There are some drawings of one I built years ago. They're floating arround in the archives somewhere. Maybe some one can find them. Send me a pm and we can hash something out.
