vw151 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 It's ugly I know, but it will allow me to trailer my bike to the track and shop. And let's face it my GTI just isn't nearly as pretty as my ducati anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectorvictor Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I didnt say it looked bad just that it could be invisible if that was needed and it wouldnt be four inches off of the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 There are Euro Hitches available for about $400 that mount behind the bumper plastic but I wasn't really into spending that kind of money. It detracts from the appearance of the car some but I don't care. It can tow my bike and that is gonna be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is tow rated to 2000lbs with this hitch because it's a class 1 hitch which is actually plenty to even tow 3 bikes on a light trailer. I'm interested to see how it feels with just the 1 bike. I'll report back in about a week when I go to pick my bike up from the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more worried if it was DSG but I think it'd probably still be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
