2006 Trailer Hitch Looks Awful
« on: May 18, 2012, 01:31:12 PM »

Put one on. Filler strips will not fit now. Looks awful. Any suggestions beyond take the hitch off really need it for big flags during PGR missions.
Thought about some type of light bar, custom strips but ........................................

What brand of hitch did you mount on your bike? I have a MC hitch & it fits great. You can hardly tell it's there. Post a pic of your hitch!

yes it is the version 2 hitch. probably had it installed in less than a hour. don't forget to get the plug n play wiring harness.. about 2 minutes to install and the pig tail is removeable for when your not pulling the trailer..
