Title: Pulling trailer with S40
Post by piedmontbuckeye on 11/27/16 at 07:30:27

Has there been anyone on here who has pulled a trailer with the Suzuki?  If so, is there a pic of how the hitch was constructed and where on the bike were the mounting points?

I have done 3 hitches for various BMW's and they worked really well, but the mounting points seemed to be easier as frames were very solid.  

Thanks

I am perplexed by this response.  I DID do a search using the keyword "trailer" and got nothing that even resembled what I was asking here!

All of the bikes I have equipped with trailer hitches have been to the frame and not the swingarm.  I did see one once to the swingarm and from what I could tell, it must have worked fine.  I still think that at least one part of hitch should go to frame even if the another part might mount on swingarm (making sure of swingarm movement, of course).

Buckeye,

If you search around on the forum we had a guy that built a trailer hitch.

We managed to promptly chase him off.  LOL

When I typed in "Trailer Hitch" in the search.....I got these and more:

(Here is the hitch that we questioned....as it was swingarm mounted and unproven, as he had only used it a few times on very short trips).

So the "search" function does work....you just need to spend a little time learning how to make it work for you.

I'm sorry, HITCH is what you're looking for.

OK, I'll try again.  However, I would think that "trailer" would also include all responses that "trailer hitch" would obtain...  Hmmmm...
