Wow. He does excellent work. I come from a pipe bending and welding background and I can really appreciate what went into that! It looks really nice. Congrats!

Can you please let me know how it attaches? I agree it looks beautiful, but I can't determine how it is attached.

The axle bolt. had to take wheel lose and remove the axle bolt, install the mounting brackets and you leave the washers out and fighting all down after you retrain the belt.

Nice job on the hitch. What can you tell me about your exhaust? Who makes it? Sound? Do you like it? It looks good.
Thanks

I heard it when we went on a ride to Queen Wilhelmina State Park. I'm sure he'll reply, but I think he said it was less than $300 and easy to install. Not sure of brand. The sound is niiiice. Deep and low, but not too loud. All heads turned when he and Juliette pulled into the parking lot!

Trailer hitch looks better than professional and stainless is very very hard to work with and not show its been bent or over-heated. Can't wait to see what the trailer will look like. With the skill set he must have I'm sure it will be unique. Good luck!:thumbup:
