The Ultimate Harley Trike Trailer Setup: Hitch + Harness + Trailer

Aug 20th 2025

The Ultimate Touring Setup: Hitch, Harness, and the Trailer That Changes Everything

Ask any seasoned rider, and they’ll tell you—freedom is everything. It’s not just about speed or the rumble of the engine. It’s about choice. The choice to go farther. To take the long way. To pack what you want, not just what fits.

But freedom gets harder when you’re limited by space. That’s why more Freewheeler, Road Glide, and Tri Glide riders are upgrading their Harley with the complete system that unlocks full-road capability. And it all starts with three game-changing pieces of gear.

The Foundation: A Hitch That’s Built to Haul, Not Just Hang On

The Hoover Hitch is the first piece of the puzzle. Built from solid steel and finished in a black powder coat, it delivers the muscle your trike needs without disrupting its design. The fit is clean. The look is subtle. And once it’s installed, it feels like it’s always been there.

It’s a hitch made for riders who don’t baby their bikes—who put on real miles and expect their gear to keep up. Whether you’re cruising cross-country or heading to a weekend rally, this hitch holds up to the road and disappears into the ride.

The Connection: Trailer Lighting That Just Works

Of course, hauling gear isn’t enough. You’ve got to haul it safely. That’s where the Plug & Play Trailer Wiring Harness makes its mark. Designed for Harley trikes from 2014 and up, it takes the pain out of wiring by skipping the cutting and splicing entirely.

Just plug it into your trike’s stock lighting system, route it cleanly, and you’re done. Your trailer lights are synced—tail lights, brake lights, turn signals—all working as they should. And because the harness is designed to keep your trike and trailer electronics isolated, you get cleaner signals and fewer headaches down the line.

This isn’t a hack. It’s a smart, reliable upgrade that gives you peace of mind at every intersection and every mile marker.

The Upgrade That Ties It All Together: The Legend Motorcycle Trailer

Now for the real showstopper. With your hitch and wiring dialed in, it’s time to connect them to something worthy. And nothing completes the setup like the Legend Motorcycle Trailer.

The Legend isn’t just a trailer—it’s a rolling cargo vault designed for riders who take travel seriously. With 18 cubic feet of storage space, you’ve got room for gear, clothes, tools, and whatever else the road throws your way. The sleek aerodynamic body looks like it belongs behind a Harley, and the lockable lid means your gear stays secure no matter where you stop.

It rides low and smooth thanks to an independent torsion axle suspension system. That means less bounce, better handling, and a trailer that follows you like it’s part of the machine. From winding mountain roads to endless highways, the Legend tracks straight and stays steady.

And because it’s designed to work seamlessly with The USA Trailer Store’s hitch and wiring harness, the entire setup just clicks—physically, visually, and emotionally. It’s not just functional. It’s complete.

The Ride You’ve Always Wanted—No More Compromises

With this setup, you stop asking what to leave behind. You stop juggling bags and bungees and wondering if you’ll have space for souvenirs. You stop treating your trike like it can only go so far.

Instead, you start planning real road trips. You start packing with intention, not limitation. You start saying “yes” to detours, side trips, and long weekends. Because now, your bike is more than just a ride—it’s a rolling basecamp.

Whether you’re heading to Sturgis, the Smokies, or somewhere way off the map, this trio of gear gives you everything you need to make the most of it.

Individually, they’re strong. Together, they’re unstoppable.

So go ahead—plan the long way. You’ve got room.
