There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I swapped my hitch from a 2010 to a 2013 and it was no problem. I plan to swap one from a 2012 to my 2014 and don't anticipate any problems with that either.

The swingarm hasn't changed; the hitch was fit...
Although your dealings with the "electrical side" of the equation, might need some "adjustments". :shocked:

On page 72 of the 2014 accessories catalog it has the hitch fitting 2014 and prior, I'm hoping there is not issues because
I'm taking the one from my 11 to put on my 14 when I get it.

Trailer Hitch Fit
Thanks Bob,
I looked at page 72. It mentions the trailer, but not the hitch. On page 74 it shows the hitch which 'looks' an awful lot like the previous hitch. The ad goes on to say 2014 and prior. Which one would Presume as opposed to Assume that they are the same.
But the real question is, "Is the back of the '14 the same setup as the '13?"

Trailer lights plug
Bob,
My trailer has the 9 pin setup. I would guess the service dept. would be able to figure that one out. Although the trailer has separate brake, turn, and backup lights, -- the brake, turn, and tail lights are all incorporated in the red lenses. (The trailer lighting module)

Replace the existing trailer connector with a square-4, or splice in a square-4 to use the 2010/2012 trailers with the later trailer hitch/harness. The 2010 trailer has separate turn signals, but can be wired as 4-wire to combine brake & turn in the red lens. The 2011 and newer trailers are all 4-wire, despite the 9-pin connector and blank areas of the lenses.

I switched mine over from my 2012 RTS to my 2014 RT Limited with no problems or modifications.

I use the trailer hitch to mount my flag pole and used the light cord to light up my USA flag when we do night escorts. It looks good and is the right thing to do if you flag a flag at night.
