    Default Who's Hitch are you buying?

    I was wondering if anyone had a specific hitch in mind for their Spyder. I know there is Bushtec, and MMC.

    But what else is out there?

    How does the bushtec attach? MMC LLC I have heard alot about. Is there more out there?

    I plan on buying one, but want the best choice....

    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Go with the Bushtec, the other one your speaking of is a poor design.

    +1 on Bushtec. John's stuff is always top shelf. Been pulling a B with Beemers since '94. Just happens it is silver and black. How convenient!

    They do but the only problem I see with thiers is they have the down brace way too far forward. I like the fact that Bushtec supports theirs as far back as they do.

    I can assure you he's not getting a Bushtec hitch for the Spyder for $175.00. He's got to be talking about the swingarm mounted hitch.

    You got that right Lamont. Now a question for you on the wiring. When you put magics taillight setup did that just plug into bushtecs wiring?

    No Magic's light kit plugs into the stock turn signals and is completely separate from the Bushtec harness.

    Where does Bushtecs wiring tie into. I'm having them run my wiring through the tubing like yours with the plug hanging out. I can't wait to get it and bolt it on and hook up my trailer. All this talk about bags and top boxes, people just don't know how cool the trailer is.

    The hitch is black the one on the picture is a prototype.

    I keep reading where everyone is talking about a Bushtec hitch and even gives a link to their site. But I've looked everywhere on it and haven't seen anything to do with a Spyder.
    So how much is the hitch?
    I'm begining to wonder if it isn't easier to just make one.
