Hitch for GL1100

[TCF]

I'm looking for a hitch for my '83 Gl1100. It seems that most hitches available attach to Hondaline saddlebags. Apparently mine are some other brand, so I think I need a hitch that would fit a naked or standard wing. I'll attach a photo and if anyone has a suggestion, I'd be very appreciative.

You need a hitch for a standard and that will take the saddle bag mounts out of the picture.

Thanks, Brian. That's what I thought.

The only one I recall is markland.

Thanks, but I don't have a chrome bar behind the wheel. Here's another angle from behind:

There is this one,

Edit, just realized its on a 1000, wonder if there are major differeces in mounting.

Hmmmm . . . interesting, but I'd prefer something not so massive. It looks like ebay is the place to find them.Please let me know of any others you see and I'll keep checking , too. I appreciate the help!

I doubt that wide chrome bumper is welded on, Looks as if it were unbolted you would be left with a simple markland type hitch.
Just guessing though..I`ll keep an eye out and repost if I see one.

The other option is to mount a rear crash guard that has the hitch and adapt you saddlebags to it:

I installed a hitch on my '82 Standard. This is the type you are looking for:

I have no idea who makes it.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Does that attach to the passenger pegs?

No, it attaches on the frame bolts for the exhaust. The upright attaches at the bolt for the frame rail under the seat.
