1500 Gold Wing trailer hitch

[jriling3]

Can a 1500 gold wing hitch be modified to fit an Interstate or just forget it? Big John VRCC #9214

I don't believe they can - they mount entirely different, hooking to the muffler hangers, and inside of the fender, to the bag mounts somehow. I can't remember exactly all the ins and outs, but a buddy has a 1500 wing, with hitch, and I tried very hard to figure out how to build one that would work. I do quite a bit of fabrication, and engineering, and just wasn't feasible. Same one I tried to figure out how to adapt the center stand to the Valk. Another no-go...

There IS one hitch, I believe it's made in Australia, that mounts "similar" to the Wing. But, I've never seen any good pictures, or one in person. And if I recall, it was VERY expensive.

Just curious - do you have access to a Wing hitch, or are you trying to mimic the "invisibility" of it?

EDIT - Here's a link to either the Australian one, or one just like it - it mounts up by the front of the swing arm, and has two "hangers" that mount to the back rails, if I recall:

daryl at xf6 has THE HITCH!!  all ss/all the parts.  i've had one since their birth.  none finer.  don't do the hitch dock route, they are not as good.  support one of our own, who works to make good things for us.
