ChiefGunner Posted May 27, 2018 #2 Posted May 27, 2018 have been looking online for a hitch for my new ride so I can haul a trailer on the long haul can not find anything on line does anyone know of where i can locate one If it’s for an 84 VR, good luck. They don’t make them anymore so your gonna have to try a salvage yard or someone who’s parting out a bike.
Motorcycle Mike Posted May 27, 2018 #3 Posted May 27, 2018 It would help a lot if we knew what you were riding. 1st, 2nd or third gen.

You have to watch close to be sure that it is a complete hitch, Some sellers will split the hitch into parts so you end up making several buys to get all the parts.
7 lakes Posted May 28, 2018 #6 Posted May 28, 2018 I have a pretty nice factory setup (complete) from my 84 that I was about to list in the classifieds here, pm me and we can talk. Tim
Flyinfool Posted May 28, 2018 #7 Posted May 28, 2018 Factory setup?? Yamaha, and all motorcycle manufacturers for that matter, specifically state that there is no towing with a bike. I never heard of a factory hitch for any bike. But then there are a lot of things I never heard of that do exist. Pics please.
7 lakes Posted May 28, 2018 #8 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Thought it was, maybe not. Sure fits like it is. If I had photos yet it it would be listed already. It's in the loft in the shop and getting to it will require moving a couple of bikes, doing some remodeling and the place is a disaster. EDIT: Yeah, so I was wrong. I remembered seeing a Venture badge on it and was thinking it was a dealer accessory but the badge was on a trunk rack that was with the hitch. And I know manufacturers discouraged towing but hey I'm old. Maybe someone recognizes the manufacturer? And I'm sure the duct tape is factory ... Edited May 28, 2018 by 7 lakes
