Trailer hitches on FJs?
This set up actually works pretty well and I’m of the belief that its safer to tow it than stow it on the bike. I had a hitch custom made and it cost about 100.00. It mounts to the rear exhaust mounts, the turn signal mounts and another mount on the frame about a foot in front of the turn signal mount. This third mount point was already on the frame and I think its for luggage. I pulled a trailer with a Goldwing in the past and this setup feels about the same. Of course the mileage goes down by about 20 percent (about 42 down to around 34). You can definitely feel it back there, when its fully loaded the trailer grosses about 350 pounds. I probably notice it most in roll-on acceleration, instead of 70 to 90 in a heartbeat its more like two heartbeats. Several very critical points: The swing arm must clear the hitch through it’s full motion (the rear wheel has 4.8 inches of travel). The ball on the hitch should be 12 to 15 inches off the ground when the bike is on the ground. Run 5 wire
