will they fit my 91 surf?

[Chillitt]

no.

[firemansam1066]

oops..... sorted it now.

[Chillitt]

looks like it will. also looks like its a reciever type, so you will need a ball hitch on a short box section tube. (if that doesn't get edited to make me look silly, i'd be amazed.. )

[BUSHWHACKER]

no.

Have you got a photo of yours fitted Charlie?

What are you planning on towing? Coz the brackets look a little lightweight to me.

For a smaller trailer it looks OK but if you're planning on hauling something heavy I'd spend more money. Watching your horse box overtake you would not impress the kids!

I've got a Witter and the side plates and cross bar are a much heavier gauge steel. The bolts that hold it together are all M12 high tensile.

I fitted one of these for Mooter, they are cheap but adequate. Took a lot of filing holes out to make it all line up.



Its not a 'proper' reciever hitch, just how they bolt the bit the ball fixes to on, none of the real reciever hitch accessories will fit.

I'd give it 6-7 out 10.

If I remember rightly it has no approvals or anything.

This will raise a smile….

My 2 nephews are both really into off-road bikes but the local police are clamping down on kids riding in unsuitable areas (confiscating bikes)…. So my Brother asks if I can get a tow-bar fitted to my Surf so we can borrow a trailer and go somewhere safer (he has a driving ban, 50 odd points).

So I say “and who is going to pay the £100 and help me fit it?” (bearing in mind it’s going to cost me about £900 to get my Surf fixed next week and I then I still need new tyres)……

His reply:

“Just bolt a tow-ball to your bumper”…

Silly Boy!!!
