I'm wondering about this for my TRIKED Goldwing GL1500SE. Pull weight & hitch weight.

I think this would be pushing it. I used it with my 2002 BMW K1200LT, which is a heavy bike at 867 lbs DRY. But it handled it barely. It was just for a short trip about 200 miles away. Worked fine for that, but I was desperate and made it work. But a trike would be much heavier, although the stability of the two rear wheels might make it acceptable. I do not know if triking that bike increases the loading of the front wheel much. Perhaps your trike manufacturer could give you that data. Even if you do get it to work, I think you would be over the capacity of this unit and taking chances. I think this would be pushing it.

I would think the trike will be a easier hitch and pull due to the two wheels in back. It pulled my harley just fine.

It depends a lot on your car. I put 1400cc Suzuki on back of my Scion Xa and it dragged on the road. Friend put 650cc Bonneville on back of Durango with no problems. In addition to the tiny straps that come with it - you need some serious straps between ends of handlebars and roof-rack (or something on back of vehicle).

the hitch wouldnt have an issue pulling a large bike...however, i would just make sure your bike has enough clearance on it so that your "fairings" are not damaged...i pulled a CBR1000RR with no issues

This will not work for you. It wouldn't even lift my KLR 650 without problems.

I tow an IceBear Magnum trike, it is a lot less weight than a Goldwing, at the cost of alternatives it is worth trying even if you beef it up or take it cautious. I tow mine to and from the shop or short range hauls, the shop owner was impressed to buy one for shop tow. Safety first!!

It was hard to load my 400lb klr650. Balance once loaded is very problematic. The mounting and securing system is shady. I don't trust it to haul my bike. I feel like its going to end with my bike laying in a ditch somewhere. I plan to weld a cross beam for more secure anchoring points on either side. I would purchase a model with this anchoring cross beam already installed if I were you. Unfortunately I don't have this option. Wouldn't reccomend without significant modification. HTH.

That's what I did; works great....haven't had ANY problems with this hitch!! Just honor the 500 lb tongue limit and you're good.

I'll give it a try, 1.5" bit does seem a bit large for the radius on the corners of the plate. I have not received the lift yet so I'll wait till I get my hands on it. I have a 1.5" forstner bit so that should be no problem. Thanx for the info.

I've pulled other ATV 4-wheelers out of some fairly crappy spots. It's only rated for 1500 pounds and I've tugged nearly 1000 pounds with mine. For an inexpensive winch they work good but they're not bullet proof.

All models are 10,000 pound GTWR and a 1500 pound tongue weight limit. Quite substantial!A great hitch, very nice looking and super functional. I get quite a few envious comments on it, worth the money.

I would be more concerned with your hitch and vehicle rating, these units are rated 1000 tongue and 10,000 trailer weight.

This cab is universal to fit all brands of snow blowers. It is light weight so I don't think you would need weights.

We have a 1996 Goldwing trike--the trike kit we have is a Champion. The cover fits fine. It covers more of the trike than any of the other 3 covers we have had and does not blow off in the Texas wind!

I have 2 of them and they are both the 15LB. model.I purchased one and liked the holding power they offer and the feature where the weeds can easily be shed from them by giving the anchor line a quick jerk which my more expensive Danforth anchors don't offer so I purchased a second one.I use these anchors on my 29 Ft powerboat.One I set off the bow and the other I set off the stern.The Digger company does offer a 10 and 12LB. model so if your boat is smaller you may want to consider them.

If you install this kit with the included springs I believe your pull will be about five pounds, and much smoother. I think you'll really appreciate the difference this kit makes. If you want to swap in a new set of sights this would be the time to do that too.

As stated by specs fits 1" 1/4 receiver, and given my towing rating is 2000 lbs in my hitch, I would say yes. Very heavy duty and has carried snow blowers and mowers for me at times. Good product.

If you can get the right hitch attachment for your Polaris you could pull it with that no problem at all. Just be careful to watch the speed to make sure the spikes have enough time to penetrate the ground.

I've been using this chock in our toyhauler for my 03 1800 wing. It works very well.

My RV has a dry weight of 9000 pounds. I have experienced no problems with my use. Also, remember you are dividing your total weight by the number of tires on the ground and the weight on your hitch. You should see no problems.

if and only if you (1) have a big SUV with good ground clearance - as weight of trike could push down so much that hits curb (for example driving into gas station) and (2) put 2 heavy straps from forks to roof rack and 2 more heavy straps from handlebars to roof rack (or something high like close trunk on straps) and (3) do a test drive far enough ahead of time - so if you need more welding or something - you have sufficient time and (4) no trike weights only 600lbs

I mounted mine to a 2014 xv crosstrek to the frame and all I have towed is a 10" boat trailer that can't weigh more than 500 lbs in entiritie. Mounting to sheet metal, depending on how thick, you risk bending and even ripping through the sheet metal. You should also take into to consideration emergency breaking with the vehicle you are mounting it to, this adds much more weight by the force of the sudden stop to the joints and hardware of the entire unit

9500lbs on a straight pull..but I will say I pulled a power stroke dually with a trailer full of quads with no issues what so ever that was stuck in slop. Its a good one
