Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
Hello Dark Siders.....Names Texas Ron....in Tyler Texas. and I got a question
I've got an 06 1300R with the hidden trailer hitch and I bought the Viva II 205/65/15...
Is there going to clearance problems with the hitch ?
Thanks

Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
So, do I need to go with a smaller tire >? like a 70 or 75?
I seen the thread where the guy made his own hitch

Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
70 or 75 is going to be taller, not smaller in width. The 205 is the width. I think the next size down is going to be the 165/80r15. I had that one on my bike for a while and liked it, just wanted a wider tire. Others will be along as well.

Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
I've been unable to find a hitch solution also. I can do some handy work, but not complete fabrication of a hitch. I have the Viva II 205/70/15 on my 1300R.
I love it, but now can't use my trailer. We need a solution for those of us that can't do fabrication of the hitches ourselves. I found a man in Tn that made me one for my Silverwing scooter. It was great and permanent. I'm trying to talk him into building one for me X.

Hubby has a C model and we just bought a trailer. A friend of ours is working on us a hitch that will fasten to the outside of the fenderrails and only be on when we need it. On the c model, I wouldn't want it on all the time anyway. When we get his new fender, hopefully, there will be enough room for a hitch under there.

Well I got a 195/65/15 Uniroyal, so far it's a go. I am heading to Mammoth Springs, Arkansas Thursday morning for the weekend. I'll see how it rides. Thanks for the responses
Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch

Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
It went well, a little tricky, took some getting used to but over all...I like it. I didn't tow as the little woman decided to stay home.
Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
So the 195 is on and the hitch didn't rub??
let us know if the tire rubs with two-up and towing .
oh and take pics of clearance if any.
Thanks for the ride report.

Re: Need a little info....got a trailer hitch
Seems to have plenty of clearance....the old biker feller that put it on just had to take it for the first spin and man I'm guessing he weighed just about the same as me and the little woman, maybe a tad bit more.
Tire update
Alright, so we took off with my harbor freight trailer in tow and the Darkside with us and hit 32 states, from Texas to NY, East Coast to the Washington State, down the Coastal Highway and most parts in between and about 27k miles, with a total of about 32k on that Uniroyal tire. No problems at all, didn't give me one bit of concern on wet or dry pavement or gravel, nor did it rub, well it did on the bolts, but I remedied that quickly. I'm replacing it in the next few days with another just like it.
