I had the drawtite hitch but I'm going to return it because its a piece of crap. Install was a major pita. It came 2 inches too narrow for the frame rails, I called and asked what was up with that and they said that it happens you just have to stretch them out to fit. Good luck trying to bend 1/4-5/16 or whatever thickness plate that is 2 inches. got it to fit, but it was off center. Worked but you know not happy. Also couldn't use the front 2 exhaust hangers on the stock exhaust, didn't fit with my invidia n1 either.
Just bought one of the gen 1 uhaul hitches from a guy on here, putting that on Thursday thatll solve all my problems ha.
I'm told the hitch itself weighs about 18lbs, the reciever and ball probably like 2 lbs. The trailer is a harbor freight trailer which was about 250lbs. 1 plywood sheet I think around 30lbs. Wheel chuck maybe 7 lbs. the bike is somewhere around 370. Grand total is about 675 lbs. Car handles it well. Trailer is rated for 1000 lbs
I imagine the sportster is quite a bit heavier
