luggage rack and trailer hitch for RT

[wmh9680]

Well, I guess I'm busy posting this AM. I'm thinking about getting a trailer hitch with a luggage rack on it for shopping or bringing along a couple od camping chairs to sit back and relax at the State Park. I'm not really interested in a trailer at this point. Ant ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Mike

We have some sponsors on the home page with what you need. Surf a bit and you will find them. I can't remember which cause if it doesn't fit in my pockets it doesn't go with me....:roflblack: I know there is one that bolts right on to the swing arm without a trailer hitch....:thumbup:

Check out my SEAL TOTE / GOLF RACK. I'm also close to introducing a carry-all rack for the trunk of the RT. Just one more reason to,

JT has one almost ready, that bolts on without the need for a hitch.
He calls it the "NHR" :thumbup:

As mentioned above, look at vendors page, you've got to shop around. Here are few I have pics of, but not of all that I've found (all these require hitch)

JT's NHR has a thread its own worth looking into & look up Doc Humphreys for Roadster Renovations. Hope this helps.

http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=134629&d=1469589592&thumb=1 - Less than 70 bucks in it (not counting the hitch).

Safe Riding! :D

I bought a BRP hitch and then got a trailer from Harbor Freight. The hitch was about $700 installed and the trailer was $375. Works perfect. We just got back from a 4 day road trip !!!

I have a tray I got from Kuryakyn that the mount goes under the trailer ball and the tray slides in and locks in with 2 pins... Was trying to use it to haul a cooler... but that aftermarket swing arm hitch bounces that tray SO BAD when the rear tire hits a bump, that I decided to quit using it. I couldn't ratchet strap that cooler in place and get it to stay put, not to mention the canned drinks were popping from being shook up so much.... The Aftermarket hitch I used has no rubber shock and is a solid mount to swingarm so the farther something sticks out behind the ball that is solidly mounted to it, the harder it bounces!!! I gave up on the whole concept and just pull the HF trailer instead...

:shocked: Well, That certainly sounds interesting... :shocked:

If you're referring to the Pakitrack in photo #3 of post #5 I think you may be SOL. Their website doesn't show it any more.

Actually, it probably was not a great product. It sticks out in the back quite a bit and the way the Spyder hitch bounces anything in it other than soft stuff like T-shirts would get rattled to smithereens.
