*PLEASE VERIFY YOUR TONGUE DIMENSIONS PRIOR TO ORDERING. READ BELOW FOR FITMENT REQUIREMENTS* Our swivel hitch heim coupler has revolutionized motorcycle towing safety and performance. The swivel heim coupler allows 360-degree pivoting beyond a normal coupler rotation for improved safety and performance when towing with a motorcycle. This complete kit includes the swivel coupler with heim joint, hitch post, rubber cushioning washer, and hitch post lock (2nd Picture shows everything included with the complete assembly). The swivel heim mounts into the trailer tongue and the 3/4″ hitch post (with 3/4″ mounting stud) mounts in place of the ball on the motorcycle hitch. This swivel is made of high-quality materials including an aluminum block housing, high tensile stress-proof steel shaft, and stainless steel hitch post. This listing does NOT include the chains and mounting hardware as these items can be reused from your original coupler setup. FITMENT REQUIREMENTS: It is your responsibility to confirm fitment to your trailer with the provided dimensions. The swivel coupler will fit all Kompact Kamp Trailers, as well as any trailer tongue with an inside dimension of 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″. The swivel bolt mounting holes should be 2-1/4″ apart in the tongue. This 3/4″ swivel heim is NOT compatible with Bushtec’s 5/8″ swivel coupler or hitch pin. Installation Instructions: 1. Remove the coupler from the tongue. File the inside of the tubing to make sure there are no burs, especially near the mounting holes. 2. Positioned with the wire cutout towards the bottom, slide the swivel heim into the square tongue tubing until the mounting holes align. 3. Reinstall the bolts through the tongue, swivel coupler, and safety chains. Install the lock washers and nuts, and torque to 30 ft. lbs. 4. Thread the swivel heim all the way in hand tight to the swivel block and then back off 1 full turn. The swivel heim comes pre-greased. You can add automotive bearing grease as needed. 5. Install the swivel hitch post onto your motorcycle hitch in place of the ball. Install the lock washer and nut, and torque to 150 ft. lbs. 6. Slide the swivel heim onto the swivel hitch post. Install the rubber cushioning washer onto the post and install the hitch post lock using the supplied keys. 7. Enjoy the ride with peace of mind!

Captain Driftwood –
Personally I think this system is one of the best and safest hitch for a motorcycle pulling a trailer. It doesn’t matter how much of a lean I take with my motorcycle,, this swivel hitch never binds or is stressed. It is also a very solid connection which means no play between trailer and bike. Also if something happens in an accident ( for example) the trailer could be flipped over but because of the swivel, the bike remains up-right if rider gets control,, this hitch is perfectly designed,,, I recommend this product.
