The only hitch I have found is the Bushtec hitch, and the Dauntless, anyone know of others and info how locate

would also consider buying a used one if someone is selling ...

Mike,

There are a few listed in the "trailer" section under "accessories" under the "technical" button at the top of the page.

Heres a couple of links:

The second is a hitch made by Dauntless which seems to be quite popular.

While I'm sure the Dauntless is quality hitch, and it certainly is a more sophisticated design, I HAVE seen pictures of them bent. I went with the Hitch Doc due to the "no brainer" approach and stout appearance, but it is a bit of a pain to take it off to change your rear tire.

You may want to go here and lurk - lots of good stuff if you dig around and search:

Hello....I got mine at hitchdoc.com, price is $294. You can get the hitch in either chrome or case color. They are very easy to install, under 30 minutes and they look good also. Good luck :bmw:

what did you do for a wiring harness ?

it came with the trailer that i bought....also easy to install..... :). you can view trailer at www.forbro.com. I have the the starlight 19 model and I don't even know it is there when I am pulling and it has tons of storage. Now forbro is a Canadian distributor, but the trailers are made in the U.S. I am very very happy with my trailer and I highly recommend it. :bmw:

I don't know what model but scanning e-bay i believe there is a k1200lt trailer hitch you might want to take a gander at... looked used but i have been thinking of getting one myself...
good luck and please post any info you have on the new or used hitch you get in the future..

For what it's worth. I've been using the Bushtec hitch for four years and have pulled a rather heavy tent trailer (250lb empty) for over 25,000 kilometers with it including a trip from Vancouver Island to Key West. It may not look the best but it sure is one strong hitch.

Does installing a hitch (which obviously indicates that you are towing something) have any affect on the warranty?

Has anyone had any problems with warranty work after bringing in a K12 with a hitch installed?

[beemerrider]

WhenI put my hitch on, my dealer said it could void the warranty but that he would turn a blid eye to it if anything happened, so it all depends on your dealer. Mine rocks!! :D

It looks identical to the Hitch Doc. Am I correct or not? Also, what was the price of your Bushtec hitch? I can't find it on their site.
