Khrome Werks Hitches
I didn't get any responses in the trailer forum, so I figure I would try it here.
I just got back from my first trip to.Sturgis, which was awesome. However, I decided real quick after the trip that I needed to invest in a trailer. I have a trailer ordered from minitrailerusa.com. After my research,it seemed to be the best trailer for the money.
Now I am down to selecting a hitch. I have a 2010 Ultra. I have an opportunity to pick up a Khrome Werks hitch for an excellent price. Does anyone have any experience using this hitch? Can it handle 400 or so pounds safely? I have read on here that most of you prefer the mc hitch or hitch doc, but I would really like to hear from you that have personally used the Khrome Werks. If it is a solid hitch, I do not want to pass up getting the one I found for an excellent price (under $200). Thanks.

I have a Khrome Werks receiver-style hitch on my 2009 Ultra. Aside from some extra rattling because it's a receiver hitch, I have been happy with mine. I have no doubt it will easily handly your 400 lb. trailer. One issue with mine: the wiring connector is positioned so that all manner of road grime/rain water/mud is flung directly at the connector by the rear tire. A mudflap or a generous helping of dielectric grease (or both) will be needed to protect the connection.

Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask about the weight is because the manufacturer says don't tow more than 300 lbs. Well, after the 220 lbs or so of trailer, you won't get to put much in there. The shop I'm going to get it at claims it should be fine.
I'm assuming you prefer the receiver style? I guess it should give you a cleaner look when not towing.
Can you turn the ball mount over to achieve a taller height?
