Anyone got a trailer hitch on their SEEG ? If so which one ? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Hands down...the best hitch in the business is BUSHTEC.

Why?  Not trying to be a smartass here.  I really don't know.  Never pulled a trailer with a bike so have never paid attention to differences in hitch types or mount systems.  What does Bushtec do different or better than others?   I'm asking because I've been thinking about a trailer more and more lately.  So advice from someone that's been there is always a help.

Bushtec has a disclaimer at the end of this page.

NOTE: The Bushtec Vertical Receiver Hitch will not fit the Screamin' Eagle Road Glide. Bushtec does have other hitches available for Screamin' Eagle applications. Please call for specifics.

I have to agree with Mike.

I don't agree with the "hands down,,, the best hitch in the business is the Bushtec" statement.

PCC it may be the best for you maybe?
Kinda like saying on a CVO site "the best touring bike is a Goldwing

Here's a picture of the hitch on the 03 dresser

and then the SEEG

Regardless of what style hitch you use I think that some additional side plates and a bumper will help.

Why?

And I'm also not trying to be a smart ass but have to say the following.

I agree the Bushtec is a fine trailer!
But has a fine price to go with it.

But

With a pivoting hitch my trailer can do as JCZ described concerning the rotating of the Bushtec trailer.

I have read the line for years about dropping a Bushtec from waist height and the wheels not bouncing.
So what?
If I hit something that can raise my bike and trailer waist high then I'm probably preparing to kiss my ass bye anyway.

Biketoberfest two years ago on I-95 between Jacksonville and Daytona I hit a dead deer carcass at 80mph puling the trailer. My reaction time only allowed me to say "O-Sh**"
The trailer rolled over the deer just like the bike, no problem.
I can't imagine any other trailer doing better.

And besides guys this thread is about a hitch,,, not a trailer [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Here's another picture.
Had to rearrange the garage with the arrival of the Lift and the SEEG.

Now all I gotta do is figure out where to keep the new GAS GAS

Right now it's in the dining room (GAS GAS = art?)

Bushtec uses the captured ball and heim joint hitch rather than the ball and cup type hitch.

Twolanerider.. if I get home tomorrow and thier is still day light left,  I'll take a picture of my Bushtec hitch and post it here for you.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

That's a fine looking set up you have!

I feel that that is the American way.
With the trailer and a passenger on a long trip,
"You can have it and take it with you".

Our forefathers would be proud! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
