| Has anyone installed a wire harness for a pull behind trailer
Any recommendations
I installed the hitch doc but did not come with wire harness
The only company that has one is from bushtec but very expensive.
Just curious
Thanks Joe |

Vineland, NJ United States | I also bought a hitchdoc and a Uni-go trailer. I ordered the wire kit from Uni-Go distributor. The link is below. It is not plug and play, it has to be spliced in, I haven't done it yet, little nervous about it.

Rockford, IL | Slight mispell there....its actually Hopkins and here is thier site http://www.hopkinsmfg.com/
The harness is underneath the seat. Look for the LARGE plug on the right side.
Blue/Red= RT Turn Signal
Blue= LT Turn Signal
White/Pink= Brake Lights
Green/Pink= Running/Park Lights |

Vineland, NJ United States | I considered that, but Hopkins kit doesn't supply additional power or isolate trailer from bike, it just converts power from individual lighting to combination lighting for the trailer (meaning the trailer uses the same lights for blinker, brakes, park). This forum and other wrenches told me to use an "isolater" so the trailer lighting does not affect the bike lighting or the bike computer. To make a long story short, my dealer is doing it because I don't want to f-up my 5 year warranty on a $24,000 bike for 1.5 hours of labor cost. |
