ATTENTION!
Kuryakyn is not aware of any current state or federal guidelines for
pulling a trailer with a motorcycle. We suggest that you do not exceed the
motorcycle manufacturers Gross Vehicle Weight limits when pulling a
loaded trailer.
WARNING! YOU WILL BE WORKING AROUND THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST
SYSTEM
DURING INSTALLATION. ENSURE THAT THE ENGINE AND
EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE FULLY COOLED TO PREVENT INJURY.
WARNING! TOWING A TRAILER BEHIND A MOTORCYCLE INCREASES THE
LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY OR DEATH TO BOTH OPERATOR AND
PASSENGER.
WARNING! IF THE TRAILER FAILS TO HANDLE IN A SAFE AND PREDICTABLE
MANNER, STOP THE MOTORCYCLE AND DO NOT OPERATE WITH
THE TRAILER UNTIL YOU HAVE DETERMINED AND CORRECTED
THE PROBLEM.
WARNING ! INSPECT ALL FASTENERS AND COMPONENTS BEFORE EVERY
USE.
STEP 2
Place the bike on its center stand. Using a hex wrench remove the five button
head cap screws that hold the rear center plastic panel in place, between the two
saddlebags.
STEP 3 See PIC.1. This shows the left forward bracket and the hardware used to mount it
to the rear crash bar. Use the 5/16” star washers with these fasteners. Install this
assembly loosely for now as shown in PIC.2. Install the right side in the same
manner. Do not install the long (1-3/4”) mounting bolt at this time. This bolt
cannot be installed until the Heim joint is adjusted in STEP 6.
STEP 4
See PIC.3. Thread a 3/8–24” nut all the way on to each of the Heim joints. Screw
a Heim joint assembly into each of the trunion bars almost all of the way as
shown. PIC.4 shows the left side trunion laid next to the bike. This is the
approximate orientation of the bar. When installed, it will be above and inboard of
each muffler.
STEP 5
Place the trunions into position as described in the previous step. Viewed from the
rear of the bike, they will appear as shown in PIC.5.
