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? The steps outlined below will help you determine what wiring components you need.
1.) You will need RivcoGL18007-28 sub-harness to plug into your factory tail light wiring.
2.) 2001-2011 Gold Wings use a five-wire tail light system. Determine if your trailer is a five-wire or four-wire system. If your trailer is a five-wire system proceed to step 3. If your trailer is a four-wire system, you will need RivcoEC07664 five-to-four wire converter.
3.) Both four-wire 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.
4.) RIVCO does not provide plugs to match other manufacturer's plugs, as there are far too many. Rivcodo however offer two different matched sets of male and female trailer plugs under part numbers TWC001 and TWC002.
