SOME GREAT NEWS FOR US CONVERTIBLE OWNERS
« on: November 08, 2013, 09:14:32 AM »

I have been in talks with Bushtec  folks in Tenn.  for awhile
 so after 6months  or so
 I finally yesterday 11/07/2013
made  arrangements and took my bike to them to make  a custom  trailer hitch for our models of bikes
so that we can pull a behind motorcycle  trailer  ;D
they are thinking  it should be done in 4 weeks  or so
they recommend chrome over powdered coated for long lasting looks and durability
I have already purchased my trailer its a 2000 genius model  fully loaded and has the rare weld wheels slotted mags

I will post pics when all done
I will also keep everyone updated on progress

yep your right Willie just as I can take our highlander as well ...
I just open the door for a huge option for us that wasn't available prior to this  with any hitch manufacturer
just sayin ..with option of being able  to pull a trailer on vacation's  makes trip planning a lot easier  :)

I don't know the cost as of yet ...i know it sounds like a bunch of BS  but here is the info ... since Bushtec is using my bike as the 1st prototype to make the hitch ...my hitch is free all i have to pay for is the wireharness which is approx. $90.00 or so i still have approx 2weeks or so  till bike is done then i will post pics
I also gave Bushtec permission to use my bike on there website as well to display the new hitch

I,m leaving 2:00 am Thursday morning heading to pick her up ..I swear not having your scoot in eye distance is a real problem...  I'm so used to opening the  garage and seeing her shine on the lift
