WTB - Hitch / trailer for K75 - Found one
« on: January 05, 2015, 06:56:58 AM »
Thinking of out-fitting the K with a small (~200lb capacity) trailer for a trip later this year - please contact if you have / know of either a hitch (with or without wiring) or smaller trailer available ...

Edit - have now sourced a hitch and trailer. Thanks.

I think a buddy of mine has a hitch. I'll drop him an email.

Much appreciated ... in an ideal world there would be someone out there looking for a high seat kit to trade for!

There's a K100 with a BMW trailer that keeps popping up on Seattle Craigslist. Doesn't appear to be there now. I think the bike was in Port Townsend.

Hi Tim - nice little spot Port Townsend ... visited a couple of times when I lived on the west coast. Would be interested to hear if you see that 100/trailer re-surface.

Could be one of these hitches as they are also out of WA  - dmcsidecars.com/hitches/hitches-for-bmw/

Anyone know anything about these - information on the site is sparse ??

Have come across option on a Bushtec trailer and in checking their site see that they sell both pin and ball hitch kits for the K1100LT ... does anyone know if such a kit might also fit the K75/100 (ie are mounting options for anything that fits the 1100 going to work for the 75) ???

Thanks Tim - I looked into another option for the K1100LT (paralever) but was advised that it would not fit the K75 (monolever) otherwise I would be interested.

Cheers!

My buddy will sell the trailer hitch he had on his K75S with a wiring harness. I'll PM you the details.
