Cockeyed trailer hitch

[WillieB]

Hey friends, Today I installed the Can Am Accessories F3 Trailer hitch on my 2015 F3. Weird, the ball mount sits about 1/2 to 3/4” to the right when viewed from the rear. Is this normal? I am pretty disappointed in the design if mis-alignment is the norm. Take a look at your hitches and LMK.
Kind Regards Willie

Because of the Spyder design the Hitch is " off-set " to accommodate the rear sprocket and the brake disc and caliper ..... Can you turn the HOOP over to reverse the way it is off-set ..... JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

If you look at it real close, then step back and study it again, it will become obvious why it seems to be offset.

EdMat, I see it now, the Ball. sits on the centerline of the tire.

Blueknight911, Thanks, I see why.

I think everyone that has put one on for the first time has had that WTH moment. Then when they get past the illusion its giggle time. :roflblack:
