Towing With a Motorcycle or Hauling It Safely

Towing a trailer with a motorcycle opens up camping and long-distance touring, but it calls for care. Stay within your manufacturer’s towing and tongue-weight recommendations, load the trailer with about 10–15% of its weight on the tongue, and allow extra stopping distance. Make sure trailer lights work with your bike’s electronics; many modern bikes need an isolator or converter to avoid overloading CAN-bus systems. When you’re hauling the bike instead, use dedicated tie-down points and quality soft loops so straps don’t scratch paint or crush wiring.

Why Riders Trust Rivco Products

Rivco Products is based in Burlington, Wisconsin, and has spent decades designing accessories for touring motorcycles, metric cruisers and side-by-sides. Its parts are known for practical engineering, complete hardware kits and clear instructions, and its catalog covers comfort, lighting, electrical, towing and protection. Rivco designs many parts specifically for Indian and Victory motorcycles and Polaris UTVs, which is why Witchdoctors carries the line.

Care and Maintenance

Inspect the hitch, ball, pins and wiring before every trip, and grease the coupler and receiver to prevent wear and corrosion.

Fitment and Compatibility

This part is listed for Indian and Victory motorcycles and is universal within the specifications above, such as clamp diameter, bulb type, thread size or mounting style. It isn’t tied to a specific model year; confirm the dimensions match your bike.

Measure before you buy: tube diameters, mounting hole spacing and connector types vary between models, and aftermarket parts already on the bike can affect fit.

Installation

1. Install the ball in the hitch tongue.
