has anyone mounted a trailer hitch on an FJ?

In engineering you see a lot of people trying to reinvent the wheel. Case in point we have a guy getting us to make a bow thruster for his 40ft launch, to the degree of getting us to manufacture the hydraulic motor (casings, impellors, the whole thing) to power the impellor. So far we've put in over 45 hours of shop time on it. Sometimes it's just easier to buy what you need when someone else has already proven the design. Our guy didn't think it all through before he put his wallet where his mouth is.
I just want to make sure that 93fj1200 was aware of some of the processes involved in paying someone to make something that someone elso has already made.

In saying that, I have been to South America and if Mexico is in any way similiar to there then there will be some backyard mechanics/engineers  down there with enough talent and skills to make a decent job of making a similiar towbar unit with those pictures from sfeilberg and the bike to work off.

Best of luck to you

So what ever happened?  Did you get the hitch?  Abandon the trailer?  What?

Hi
I have a classic industries trailer hitch on my FJ1200.They are light,cheap and work very well and are adjustable to some degree.They attach to the Pillion footpeg bolt and The pannier mount on the rear rear frame brace.I tow a large fiberglass trailer again from classic industries and never even notice it's there when Im riding I will find some pics and post them.

Thanks everybody!! Your input is greatly appreciated. I´ll post a foto when I am done.
