FAQ's

Pulling a trailer with a motorcycle

Q - Do Swivel Hitches cause trailers to 'fish-tail'?

A - A possible cause of trailer fishtailing can be  the trailer's tongue being too short.  One rule of thumb is the tongue should be twice as long as the axle is wide.

A second cause could be a poorly loaded trailer or insufficient tongue weight.

Another possiblilty is that the trailer is not level enough. Using the correct selection of Swivel Hitch that attaches the trailer's tongue on level is recommended. There is a selection from Offset-Down 1" to Offset Up 3", so that you can select the one most suitable for your use.

Q - Why a Swivel-Hitch  when my FIXED ball hitch works fine?

 Keep in mind that there are all kinds of solutions for a swivel adapter on the market.

Many need to be matched to the make and model of the hitch coupler or bolted onto the trailer tongue.

They aren't portable:  one swivel to one trailer.

The Swivel-Hitch solution allows you to use any trailer with your motorcycle without having to worry about bolting anything to the trailer!

Prior to your order, please check your trailer and bike hitch for height.  One way to do this is to measure your bike hitch from the bottom of the vertical receiver (on vertical hitches) to the ground.  Then ensuring your trailer is level, measure from the bottom of the couplerer to the ground.  The difference should be the amount of down set or up set that you will need to order.

There is a comment box offered at check out if you have other questions or email us for answers prior to your order!

Offered are upsets of 1", 2" and 3".

If you need a 'ball' a 1 7/8" chrome ball is available for $10.

The hitches are drilled to accept a 3/4" bolt.
