    Default Hitch question

    Would a BRP hitch that came off an F3L fit an older GS/RS?

    Thanks

    The hitch will. But the wiring harness will not work.

    Also the hitch will partly cover the license plate. Technically not legal but highly unlikely you will have a problem with it.

    Thanks Billy. No worries about the wiring harness. I can handle that just as long as the hitch fits my GS

    Did you buy the 622 listed today in the FS forum? I just saw it and was going to share that with someone not on SL ... that is a good price.

    No. The GS swing arm won’t fit.

    No, I wasn't after the trailer. Still available as far as I know

    Thank you.

    The shipping to Canada would have been $90US. I had to bow out.

    Great deal for someone.

    Please explain why? I have attached diagrams of the 2008 GS, 2010 RT and 2017 F3T for comparison. Except for the airbag saddle, which has no impact, I don't see a difference.
