Custom made hitch vs manufactured

[yuergenb]

Looking to get a trailer hitch for my 95 ST and wondering what most people do: Buy or make themselves. If some riders make their own, are their plans available about how to get started? If you bought yours, are you happy with it and where can I buy one?

Thanks

My hitch was made by the guy who made my trailer. Very simple to fabricate, if you got the right tools. What's neat is that the hitch is hidden behind the fender. It practically invisible when the drawbar is not there. See pics in my album to get an idea.

I bought a Unigo hitch for my ST1100. I used it to support a custom made bicycle rack. I've got a ST1300 now and am considering getting a hitch for it. But it looks like Unigo only sells hitches with a trailer now.
So I'm looking for options too.

I plan to custom built my own. It should be fairly straightforward on the 1100.

I think that PaulK out of Anola Manitoba has made at least one and possibly 2 hitches for his 1100. We discussed it at OnStoc and he had some thoughts on design. You may want to contact him.
