Designed specifically for motorcycles.
When you lean your motorcycle to the right or left in a turn, the design holds the ball in the vertical position by allowing the base of the hitch to move in the opposite direction of the bike without causing your trailer to bind – as it could possibly do with a conventional ball hitch.
Feedback:
Unit looks well made. The design incorporates nylon washers as the bolt is designed to remain loosely tight so the ball can pivot. Problem is ball falls to one side making hook up of trailer a pain, especially if the ball has grease on it from the trailer latch. I installed two thin metal washers to the inside of between the bracket and the ball shaft and eliminated the nylon washers. Tightened the bolt just tight enough to allow the ball to stand up strait on its own, yet move freely with a slight amount of pressure. Worked like a charm.

Just installed this on my 2002 GL1800A yesterday and took it out for a nice test ride. I couldn’t believe how it made every turn feel like I didn’t have a trailer behind me. It eases the tension that placed on the tongue because of its brilliant design in swivel left and right depending on your turn. Ingenious really and I’m so glad I put it on to try it out. You won’t be disappointed.I am not affiliated with the company and I received no compensation for this review.Just a great product I felt needed some review.

A month old. Took it on a road trip across a few states. Other then that the bike stays in the garage. With that little amount of riding time the castle nut is all rusted and you can see below the swivel it is all rusted. I don’t recommend

I rode thousands of miles cross country with one of these. At higher speeds, works fine. When you slow down KLUNK it falls to one side or the other. If you’re riding thru curvy mountain roads KLUNK then KLUNK to the other side. All in all, high speeds thru granny curves, it is fine. But also is a fixed ball hitch.

Customer –
Very loose assembly which lets the ball rest on an angle while connected to a trailer causing damage to the hitch and the ball itself also the trailer does not track on center which causes dangerous shake to the steering at lower speeds. The bolt through the ball connecting to the bracket is a regular full threaded bolt which wears abnormally fast.

For such a price it is very inconvenient to use.

I returned this ball, but it seemed ok. The trailer I bought wound up having a swivel hitch. I don’t think this ball is a good idea with a swivel hitch. With out that, I probably would kept it. Seems like it would just flop over and stay there, but as I never used it, I don’t know for sure.
