This is the hitch I have on my RS....Have pulled the trailer over 5k miles so far with out a single problem...Same guy sells the wiring harness for $39...just hook it up to existing signal/brake wires and you're on your way...

Another option

Here is another option. I like the look of it mostly hidden by the fender, but I wonder about the extra weight on the fender brackets.

Considering that several owners have had their fenders come loose, or even come off, I would stay far away from this option. The fender brackets crack readily enough already without 40 pounds of tongue weight hung on the rear end.

:agree: even with the seller providing stronger brackets for the fender I too would stay away from it, but I bet BRP will love the increase in fender sales with that hitch.

I agree but I put it out there because it is ---- well out there. I have seen ads for this hitch very recently but I don't know how long it's been available. If anyone wanted to be a guinea pig and try it out, the rest of us can start a pool betting how long it will last.

Hitch on 09 GS SE5

I've been away for a while, but am now back checking the site. I've toyed with the idea of a trailer for my 09 SE5:f_spider: GS, but haven't saved the coins or decided which way to go.

I haven't been able to locate that blueknight 911 video :hun:.

Checking an earlier thread on hitches, I noticed someone mentioned that BRP doesn't recommend trailers with the GS/RS model. I find that amusing, as when I bought my GS, before there was an RT, the hitch was listed in the BRP catalog as an accessory for the RS.

I know they did some work with the electronics to provide a trailer option, but a boat load of cycles pull trailers without incident every day.

it's pretty easy to make your own.i made three of them for just over $70. I got some 10gauge steel bent into a c channel that fit over the swing arm marked and drilled where the axle went through.then i bent some 3x1/2 flat bar for the tongue and welded on the pate for the trailer ball.i made my trailer from a old jet ski trailer and have about a $150 into it.I got the box for the trailer from lowe's.i bought one with wheels so when i get to where i'm going the box comes off and i wheel all my stuff up to my room.no unpacking.
