Not only is there the rotational benefit on turning you spoke of when the bike is leaning. But there is no instantaneous shift or tug, fore or aft, on acceleration and decelerations. Absolute sublime pulling connection. Bushtec trailers set the bar with their renowned Heim connection. Beautiful motorcycle. I am into lights. And lots of them. See and be seen. Safe and happy travels. ATGATT.

As a rider it pulls and tracks a lot better. Definitely worth the money

Thats a cool setup. I was scared of how much the bike moved when you attached the trailer the first time.

The Harley has kickstand with a ton of play, it’s actually (originally) designed to be able to “shake and wiggle” the bike onto a concrete block and be able to change the rear tire. The original design is Harley was with long ride in mind. Part of why I believe they have not gone to led lights. The lights they run can be bought at almost any gas station

Hello Mr. McStache. I guess I use the Torque wrench correct. Yes wheel chuck must be removed. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

Wife wanted the best there was and this is what kept showing up. With the dual pivot points it should do it all

Thanks for your video. I just purchased a used trailer and was looking at hitch options. This was a great help.

I was hesitant at 1st. Though it was a little pricey but after installing it, well worth it. Removes the slack at takeoff and stop. Also tracks a lot better

Good call installing it,, Jason. I've seen videos of bikes getting laid down intentionally to show the difference, game changer. Hmmm, that was your left ear? Next time Doyle is talking trash about ya, I'll have to make sure to remind him to stand to your left, so y'all don't have to hear his BS. Hahahaha. Ride safe.

That's a pretty trick little part. Even if the bike were to have a parking lot tip over the trailer would be protected. At a minimum it may stop the frame from being twisted. Great video.

Mississippi torque wrench? That’s a new one. I usually refer to those as the “nut rounder-offer” or “adjustable hammer”. LOL.
@Mr.McStache Жыл бұрын
Nut rounder offer I will agree with hammer is improper use. If you are going to pound that the time and get the BFH and beat it to submission lol

Nice . But if I was you would keep the ball recever in camper just in case need to pull it with regular ball hitch

That’s a good idea or carry my Mississippi torque wrench so I can put that ball replacement on somebody else’s bumper

Heim joints are good, been used for decades on race machines etc, only one possible issue is if your going to tow another trailer, helping a buddy, your stuffed, same goes if your bikes damaged or broken down, trailer needs to be towed by the corresponding hitch. I’d go def for a swivel conventional tow hitch... Nice vid though 😃
@Mr.McStache 3 ай бұрын
I have been picked up on the side of the road before. I carried the old trailer nose then now I carry an extra pin. Could also remove mine and use it or put the ball back on for other trailer. But the “slop” is gone and trailer tracks a ton better. Thanks for your input, great things most don’t think about

Cool....What was in inside dimension of your trailer tongue?
@Mr.McStache Жыл бұрын
inside dimension of 1-3/4" x 1-3/4". The swivel bolt mounting holes should be 2-1/4" apart in the tongue. This is what it called for in the order form and what mine was. Have a feeling its a common measurement. Trailer tracks so much better too!
@jeffreyengle2762 3 ай бұрын
Just do yourself a big favor and don’t forget the red Loctite on your pin bolt……. (I noticed you did not) Otherwise, you and your trailer will part company. Take it for me, that big nut will not stay tight, and when it comes loose, will give you every kind of havoc you can think of and your helmet will become absolutely essential one more time believe me, you don’t want to see that happen.
@Mr.McStache 3 ай бұрын
Yes most of my installation videos I say but don’t always show it due to videoing. I will normally pull it all apart and do it with no distractions to ensure a complete Job. Thanks for checking I appreciate it
