Will installing a trailer hitch void my motorcycle warranty? No, in 1975 the federal government passed a set of laws called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This act states your vehicle warranty cannot be voided or canceled for using any non-original equipment manufacturer (O.E.M.) part or accessory (like Rivcotrailer hitch) unless the manufacturer of the vehicle can prove the use of this non-O.E.M. part or accessory caused a failure of any part or parts on the vehicle. Rivcoencourage you to research the Magnuson-Moss act then share your findings with your dealer if they tell you installing Rivcotrailer hitch or any of Rivcoaccessories will void your warranty.
What wiring components will I need to purchase to complete the circuit between my motorcycle and my trailer? There are a few possibilities for wiring your HD0074 trailer hitch. The components needed will depend on year, make, and model of your motorcycle and the configuration of your trailer's wiring. RIVCO offers plug-n-play components that cover all the motorcycle models Rivcotrailer hitches fit. Here are four quick steps to help you determine which wiring components you will need:
1.) You will need RivcoHD007-49 sub-harness to plug into your factory tail light wiring.
2.) Determine if your trailer is a four or five wire system. The motorcycle models Rivcodesigned the HD0074 trailer hitch to fit use a four-wire CAN-bus wiring system from the factory. If your trailer is a four-wire trailer system, proceed to step three. If your trailer is a five-wire system, you will need the HD007-50 CAN-bus signal converter before moving on to step three.
3.) Both four and five wire trailer systems will require the use of RivcoGL18007-IU isolator. An isolator is like a multi-channel relay pulling power for your trailer lights directly from the motorcycle battery to prevent over-loading your motorcycle tail light wiring.
