Just bought 000159 Rts demo from dealer in FT. Myers FL. Priced factory hitch and even with discount offered still to much money.Also need set of rizers that is suitable for DIY. Still at dealers for DPS and other up dates. This is one great site. J W Miller

non factory trailer hitch

After reading my post in it a forgot to ask are there any after market hitches avaible for a RTS. JW Miller

With no reply's I'd say probably not but if someone did make an after market hitch it to would be very expensive. If your looking for inexpensive after market parts for the Spyder you might want to hang loose for about five to ten years.

The Mel's Monster Garage (MMG) swingarm hitch would fit. Frame mounted hitches will not. The MMG hitch does not include the wiring harness and trailer isolation module like the factory hitch. The factory hitch has the special BRP connector, so it will fit the RT-622 trailer, but will need to be adapted to other trailers. Other wiring would have to be adapted to the RT-622 trailer the hard way, since the wiring harness is not available separately.

Hey scottie..I found a brp part number 710002029 which is called a tongue harness for the RT to RT trailer.
Apparently it is available as a single piece which goes from under the left trunk trailer plug to the actual trailer plug.

My question is now, can one separate the trailer in plug of the cable to wire in the 4 or 5 wire flat trailer plug??

I used the tongue harness for the basis of my adapter. This is the best thread on the subject, with a link to the pinout diagram. There is even a color code label on the tongue harness. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has been able to make any converter work to convert the separate turn signals on the RT to a trailer with combined brake/turn lights. My best suggestion is to add some turn lights (and wiring) to the trailer, and use a five wire plug (or five poles of a six wire plug). The Spyder has separate right and left brake circuits, so you just need to choose one. The other alternative is to wire the trailer tongue harness to your trailer directly, but then the trailer will only work with a Spyder RT. BTW, be sure to leave enough wire. The Spyder connector is a long way from the ball.​
