    Try Rivco. Just remember to not put anything fragile into a hitch carrier.

    I purchased an aftermarket hitch and mfg a platform.20140913_081635.jpg20140913_081655.jpg
    The problem I had was the platform sticking out too far caused the hitch to sag.
    so I removed the hitch and welded some stiffeners to the underside.20141023_112346.jpg
    For the platform I purchased one at harbor freight that was way too big and I took it apart and made it much smaller.
    The total weight for the platform and the "Really Usefull Box" is about 6 pounds total.
    I only had our 2 helmets and our rain suit in it and it still bent.

    Thanks,

    I had looked at http://www.pakitrak.com then decided with a trailer from www.minitrailerusa.com. That way had room for cooler and some cups

    Thanks for the mention SpyderAnn01! We do make very strong hitch racks and attachments here in Wisconsin (strong enough to support a person's weight, and rated at 35lbs on the road), but we can't recommend using them with un-sprung hitches like on the Spyders because of the vibration and shaking. If people follow that link above, they will see that on the rack descriptions we don't endorse use on un-sprung hitches. All our best! The folks at RIVCO

    I agree. The BRP hitch rides on the swingarms, so is impacted with every bump the rear wheel rolls over. I would guess that would accelerate metal fatigue immensely.
