Harley has never indorsed pulling a trailer. If you had a bike under warranty and they see a trailer hitch on it they void your warranty.
I picked up my current bike, a 1996 FLH Ultra in October of '95. Had the hitch mounted when the bike arrived at the dealer. I've got over 114,000 or 116,000 on the clock now (don't recall which and I'm not out where it is right now). I had the extended warranty as well as the original one. I never once had any dealer or H-D itself question the hitch or what I towed when I had warranty work done. And that happened a few times during the warranty period. And of the 100,000 plus miles on the bike, probably 50% were towing. Mostly my Kwik Kamp tent trailer that I sold as part of buying the Liberty sidecar for the bike. The rest with my smaller cargo trailer.
--I had the sidecar put on at about 85,000.--Gotta say, that's one GREAT LOOKING RIG Tom! Maybe I'm not green with envy but I'm not rosy red either... NICE!
You and I both put our hacks on with about the same mileage. I installed mine as I do all the work to mine. I work on bikes as a living when my health permits.
Thanks Jeff. I bought the sidecar directly from Pete at Liberty and had him do the color match paint, installation and the triple tree change while he had it there in Seattle. That's been a while back and three dogs ago... Here's hoping Petey gets to ride with me as many years as Archie, my first sidecar canine companion, did. Happy travels to you as well. Oh yeah. If you're interested, there is a link on the Liberty home page to a video H-D made of me and Archie that's getting some age to it now as well.
