You kidding? (see pic below)

I recommend the hitch that Chuckster1 makes. Welcome to the Nomad Nation from the Grand Canyon State!

Welcome from the Deep South. The Nomad is great for pulling a trailer. Several of us on the board pull trailers with no issues. I installed one of Joe's (Chuckster) hitches. Great workmanship. Below is a picture of the hitch on my bike with another picture after that one showing the trailer I tow.
