roadrash Posted March 7, 2012 #1 Posted March 7, 2012 Could any one tell me if a trailer hitch from a roadstar fit a 07 venture or a 09 tour deluxe.Any advice would help
Freebird Posted March 7, 2012 #2 Posted March 7, 2012 I haven't looked at them so can't so for sure but I will say that there is VERY little chance of it working for either one.
BradT Posted March 8, 2012 #3 Posted March 8, 2012 Robert can't tell you if it works or not maybe someone else will chime in. You can try Don Dell, he copied mine and Moe's and made his own. 10-15 bucks worth of steel is about all it is. Brad
roadrash Posted March 9, 2012 Author #4 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Brad & Rhonda Would you be offering your hitch again so Robert can copy yours, as he has two to make. Also did you cut the original or make the entire dog bone piece. Thanks Tamara

The 11/4 receiver I purchased at Tractor Supply not sure where in Canada. Which ever way you go just mount receiver level with bike and adjust length to clear rear fender. I also made my own stinger so I my trailer tongue would be almost level maybe 1/4 '' low. Hitch height will change slightly when bike is off of side stand. http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64842&stc=1&d=1331258647http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64843&stc=1&d=1331258647 http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64842&stc=1&d=1331258647http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64843&stc=1&d=1331258647 hope this helps and welcome to the site.

BradT Posted March 9, 2012 #7 Posted March 9, 2012 Tamara I have some photos and a drawing, Bike is buried for a few more weeks, when it come out pop over and look. Brad
roadrash Posted March 9, 2012 Author #8 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Playboy Thanks for the pictures. I will help with the build. Tamara and Robert:cool10:
roadrash Posted March 9, 2012 Author #9 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Brad My bike is buried also. Yesterday I thought we might get lucky this weekend, till I woke up this morning to that White stuff. Thanks and we can hook up in a couple of weeks. Tamara & Robert
XV1100SE Posted March 9, 2012 #10 Posted March 9, 2012 I'm in Kitchener in the Fischer Hallman/Westmount area. I have an R-Mark hitch on my 07 RSV and easily accessible. If you want to take a look let me know. If you haven't already noticed, riders/members from this area are meeting at Pioneer BBQ on Sportsworld drive on March 24th for dinner. You can RSVP in the calendar. Right now there are 21 people confirmed. Great way to start to get to know the people in the area. We also do a Wednesday evening ride in the summer out of Brantford (organized by MarCarl). Don
XV1100SE Posted March 9, 2012 #11 Posted March 9, 2012 For trailer hitch plans or ideas... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61376 http://r-markventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/yamaha-royal-star-venture-tour-deluxe.html - http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57769
BradT Posted March 10, 2012 #12 Posted March 10, 2012 Hi Brad & Rhonda Would you be offering your hitch again so Robert can copy yours, as he has two to make. Also did you cut the original or make the entire dog bone piece. Thanks Tamara Tamara forgot to answer. Simpliest way is too cut the round bar slide a square over the round or grind off the angle brackets before welding. Putting a hitch on your bike as well as Roberts new one ? Do you have a trailor ? Brad
roadrash Posted March 13, 2012 Author #13 Posted March 13, 2012 Hi XV1100SE Thanks for the offer however we can wait a little while as it is not quite summer yet, we might take you up on your offer a little later. I did see the meet and greet however Robert is working. We hope to make it out to a ride. Robert & Tamara
roadrash Posted March 13, 2012 Author #14 Posted March 13, 2012 Hi Brad Yes we have a trailer, Robert made one several years ago used it a few times and then sold it. Then he made another which he still has. Tamara & Robert
