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.

It would help a lot if we knew what you were riding.

1st, 2nd or third gen.

From his profile I'd say it is an 84.

Ebay often has hitches from bikes being parted out. 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.

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.

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.

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 ...
