That explains why someone else here said thier bikes dont come in boxes like mine did. (or all the Hawaii ones do) They do outsource shipping to here.. they come nicely covered with the booties and then have a thick, heavy plastic bag the whole bike is encased in...

SBB.. nice ride!

The tractor pulling that trailer wasn't a Harley tractor.
The trailer seems to be a special trailer with a new pallet system.
They hook to the pallet and pull it the to back of the truck.
After all bikes are unloaded then the pallets are loaded back on the truck.
It's a neat set up.

The 01 and 03 already have a hitch. I need one for the 11.5 that I can move to the 12 when needed.
I also need wiring harnesses for each bike.

I've got a few of those six pin WeatherPack plugs and terminals that mate to the Bushtec trailer harness. If you've going to make your own harness for the new bike let me know and I'll put of the plug sets in the mail. You'll want both pieces even though one already exists on the trailer harness. Use the other half to terminate and protect the harness on the bike when the trailer isn't connected.

Thank you.
You still have the address?
Your opinion, should I do a separate harness for each bike or could one be swapped between bikes?
Leaving a harness on the 03 and 01 is no problem. "Warranties" dictate that the 11.5 and 12 come off (along with hitch) once trailer usage is done.
Pm me with a cost and I will send you a check.
If you run across anyone with an Bushtec insert for a decent price keep me in mind.
Thanks.

SBB

If warranty considerations dictate that the harness/hitch come off for service I'd just make one and swap it on at need. Same connector behind the battery for both the new bikes. Get a male and female end of that rear light harness plug behind the battery. Use it to make a little interconnect harness to go between the two connectors on the bike. Build the bike's trailer harness off that interconnect. Voila, plug and play trailer harness that you can have on and off in a few minutes at no greater cost than a few plastic wire ties each time.

Do still have the address. I've got several of those Weatherpack connectors here so no sweat. Will stick something in a padded envelope in the next few days.

If memory serves, Electrical Connections out of Knoxville makes a "plug and play".
I have one on mine and I can connect and disconnect in minutes.
It plugs in line on the main wire harness to the taillights. You only
have a hot and ground to connect to power. There are a few other
places that sell them too.
