>The Piggy Backer XL is a great deal with some >exceptions. It comes with automotive type wiring which >doesn't work with motorcycles. After e-mailing the >importer (made in China) and getting zero help from >them, I set out to connect the wiring and make it work >myself. It was a miserable job to say the least. My >Gold Wing GL 1500 was already wired and fitted with a >hitch, however, the wire receptacle was a 5 prong >round and the trailer plug was 4 prong flat. They >don't mix. I ended up changing the brake and running >lights to l.e.d.'s and then connecting them to the >existing wiring (I had to remove the 5 prong round >receptacle and install a 4 prong flat with a converter >which I bought from U-Haul). This worked well for the >brake and running lights. I then bought amber l.e.d. >turn signal lights and mounted them on top of the >brake/running lights and wired them direct to the rear >turn signals in the Gold Wing trunk. This was really a >pain because I had to partially disassemble the trunk >and saddle bags on the Wing. This solution worked >pretty well but took me 5 days and cost over $100.00. >I will always be baffled by a trailer manufacturer >that imports and builds trailers for motorcycles and >doesn't wire them for motorcycles, and doesn't really >care whether you like it or not. Their attitude was >"not my problem". Pathetic. If anyone is interested in >seeing photos or getting a detailed explanation of >what I had to do to make my Piggy Backer XL legal, >send me an e-mail at: > >stewart-stan@comcast.net
