[QUOTE="fljab, post: 892420, member: 19079"] I came up with this setup - which as you can see is not installed yet: [IMG]https://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq180/fljab4430/MCtrailerhitch.jpg[/IMG] Sourced the rod end from McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com). I figure to remove the hex head, then weld or otherwise fasten the bolt to the trailer tongue with the rod end threaded on to it. Thread the tongue bolt in as far as it will go, but leave it loose so it'll rotate; the rod end bearing will handle up and down. The bolt that goes through the rod end I figured to fasten to a tab or hole on the hitch on the bike. I'll either drill this one or source a bolt that you can put a cotter pin through. Forget the cost, but it's not much esp if you can scrounge some of the stuff (bolts/washers) somewhere like I did. I also have access to a pretty good salvage yard that sells to the public, but no guarantee that they'll have what you need at the time you're there, but they do have alot of stuff for quite abit less than buying new retail.
