From what I have heard, the combined wiring harness/data harness makes it extremely diificult to put a hitch on one of the newer bikes.

If anyone has been successful I would like to know. I want to keep pulling a trailer and would consider the new KGT if it was possible..

HI!

I have a K1200LT 2004.
I made a trailer hitch by myself.
And I have made all electrics by myself as well.
All this is possible in Finland.

I connected all wires from rear light to trailer.
It is working very well.
So, there is nothing to worry about Canbus.

@leiboshi,
Being as it is Finland, do reindeer products have a role in your manufacture of the hitch or electrics? ;<) Or is there some other reason this is especially possible in Finland?

Yeah. We make them of reindeer horns :)

Well actually the difference is that we do not need any approval for trailer hitch in a motorcycle. I think that it is needed in most western countries. But I am not sure.
