| My friend and I just placed an order for a 2011 Vision tour. Both of us pull camping trailers and will need a trailer hitch for the Vision. I have noticed that Buschtec excludes ABS from using their hitch, and haven't been able to find any other vendors. Has anyone else installed a hitch on the 2011 bike? Sure would be nice to get some info back. Thanks |

| Thanks for the information! At least Bushtec is going to produce. I emailed Rivco, and got back a turnoff answer "No we don't and we don't plan to". Looks like Bushtec will have a corner on the market. |

| Interesting, although I do not have ABS on my Vision and did not have it on my '03 Honda GL1800 Goldwing, I do know that the Bushtec hitch for the GL1800 was the same whether it was for an ABS Goldwing or a non ABS Goldwing. That said I can't see why there would be a difference in the hitch for the ABS Vision versus the non ABS Vision such as my '08 which I have a Bushtec hitch mounted on. As from a trailering viewpoint I would prefer the Bushtec over the Hitchdoc, even though the Hitchdoc hitch is well designed and easier to install, the Bushtec hitch attaches to more points on the frame and therefore would probably handle the load of a camping trailer better. I used to tow a Bunkhouse camper with my Goldwings and you need to have a stable hitch when towing something that can weigh over 500 pounds when loaded. |

Central New York | My guess is that the hardware for the hitch conflicts with where the ABS hardware is mounted. |
