[QUOTE="jpwinger, post: 55970, member: 1863"] Markland trailer hitch was mounted just under rear fender when I bought 80 gl1100. Part of hitch was fabricated with electrical couduit and just u bolted to vetter frame. Ball was about 5 to 6in above rear axle. I bought 14ga i/2 id and 3/4 od tubing and heated and bent to clear shock mounts and rear axle so I could attach to muffler mounts. Had to bend back in to meet up with hitch tubing. screwed 5/8 bolt in new tubing ends to create treads to help hold to hitch tubing also used i/4 in steel to fabricate mount to muffler hanger. welded to tubing. All this lowered ball to axle height. Now tounge is level and will not take weight off front wheel or put to much weight on back wheel. Also made box for cooler with angle aron used crome diamond plate on bottom 40 in tounge leaves plenty of room between cooler and back on bike.With trailer loaded with camping gear and cooler loaded I have around 35 lbs of tounge weight. I used the tubing so it will be easy to take a part to get to back tier also Markland h itch had 2 braces to vetter box frame now I have them on each side plus what I added to muffler mounts on each side. Now I have 3 attachments on each side should hold. I hope!!! [/QUOTE]
