Title: Tow Hitch
Post by: Warrior Princess on June 09, 2012, 11:52:49 PM

I want to tow a small trailer and I need a tow hitch.

1996 Tiger 900 Steamer, Does anyone know where to get one or if you have one on your bike can you get me some pics so I can see how it is mounted and I can have one made.

Thanks

if you haven't done a reinforcement mod to the subframe on a 96 it'll never take the weight of a trailer , you WILL break the sub frame off

Pack lighter. If that means leaving the ball and chain behind, bonus. 8)

Finally got the house sorted out for selling and got back in the gargae... WOO HOO. Got the welder out and upgraded the subframe as per Mustangs sugestion. Also upgraded pannier mountings as Towbar is mounted to frame.
