Bushtec Hitch

[fencepost]

Took my F3 to Bushtec today for them to use to build a trailer hitch for the F3. Should be finished in 3 weeks.

Do they let you keep one of the hitches, for being involved in the project? :dontknow:

Hope Bushtec comes through with a hitch for the F3 & F3-S, looks like BRP is not.

It will come to be. They told me they would need my bike for 3 weeks. Don't know how long after that before they will be available. When I pick up my bike I will post pictures and hopefully a timeline when avalible.

How did you fit the back rest on there with those Corbin bags I could not get mind

Corbin changed their design t fit the back rest.

Going to meet Lewis from Electrical Connection at Bushtec tomorrow he is going to start on the wiring isolator for the trailer.

I am nominating "fence post" as the F3 OWNER OF THE YEAR for finding a supplier of aftermarket hitches for all of us. I tried here in CO with no luck. 2015 F3 owners rejoice!

The wiring on the F3 is a different bird from the others when wiring a 5 wire trailer. The Bushtec is a 5 wire trailer in that the turn light is separate from the brake. The F3 is a 4 wire system with the brake and turn being on the same wire so Lewis has to do some engineering to separate the brake and turn from working on one wire to 2. If you have 4 wire trailer not a problem. He should have a beta unit in a week or two.

:congrats: on being on the leading edge of this development!! :clap: :2thumbs:
If you're going to be any part of a spear; it might as well be the tip!

So my 2015 Freedom BRP trailer that has sat in my garage licensed and registered this year will work for a "beta test" if they need a volunteer in CO!

Good job fencepost..., So you will have it in time for N. Carolina?

 

[fencepost]

I may have the beta unit on the bike when we go to Spyders in the Smokies. All I know that s I will have trailer in tow, I may have to tape a couple of flash lights on the back.
