I'm assuming you're talking about a hitch, like for towing trailers?
To the best of my knowledge there isn't one, however, one could be easily made with a little welding and some scrap metal.

Yes i'm talking about a hitch either a 50mm towball or a drop through pin type and anyway where would i attach it to

[Nuthinspecial]

I'd have to go out and look at the 110 to tell you for sure, but I would look underneath the trike around the skid plate. Fabricate something that attaches from there, straight back, then attach an upright piece from both sides of your grab bar (behind the seat) down to your hitch.

I bought one from Honda for about $20.00 for one of my 200's, but I wasn't impressed, so I made the other one, and beefed up the one from Honda with some extra steel. If you can't visualize my poor descriptions, I'll take a pic of the one I made, and of the factory one for you.

I agree with Nuthinspecial, the stock honda hitches are kinda cheesy. Here is the one I made for my 250sx, the concept is the same for a 110. Just weld up something that is strong

I have a honda one for my 200s. The 110 has a large lack of frame. It's mainly just a big back bone with the engine somewhat hanging. I don't know where you would attach it.:confused:

I too want to put a hitch on my 110. I think the way to do it is to make one and drill into the frame and atach it with 4 good size blots.

on the bottom of the axle carrier there is a hole that was put there during machining, it doesnt go into the carrier, it is another piece of metal that sticks out, atleast on the 90's, all i did to make mine was take a 2 inch by 3/4 inch piece of metal that was 2 feet long, bent the metal to bolt up to the hole, drilled a hole in the metal strip, and then took two 1/2 inch rebar and cut them to fit from the hitch, to the weelie bar, and welded them, so far it hasnt bent, and has come into some good use for me.

[Nuthinspecial]

The stock hitches from Honda are rated for 20 lbs. tongue weight and 200 lbs. towing capacity if I remember correctly. I pull more than that with my little atc hunting trailer and bent mine right behind the ball up and then down several times, god only knows why it didn't break. Anyway, I probably over built it after that, but I reinforced the stock one with a piece of 1/4 inch flat bar. Now I can pull a full size pick up trailer around the yard (empty of course) with no problem.

On the one I made from scratch, the uprights are way too big, but it is stuff I had on hand....anyway it is 3/8 by one inch, and the base plate I think was 1/2 inch thick. It ain't gonna bend now!

Hey Nuthinspecial can you post pictures of the hitch you made and the honda stock hitch that you "BEEFED" up.

Thanks

[Nuthinspecial]

Techno-

Yeah, I'll go take some pics this afternoon.

[Nuthinspecial]

The ugly one is the one I made out of stuff on hand, way over built. The cleaner looking one is the factory one I beefed up. Hope these help.

[Nuthinspecial]

and...

[Nuthinspecial]

pretty thick steel huh? :lmao:

[Nuthinspecial]

Darn it, I forgot to rotate the pictures..........

[Nuthinspecial]

and...

[Nuthinspecial]

This is what happens when you park your trikes too close to each other on a Saturday night..... they start breeding!:shocked:

[Nuthinspecial]

ok, last Hitch picture....

[Nuthinspecial]

It is kinda cute....even without a front fender! Anyone got a cheap front fender for this 70?

[Nuthinspecial]

Technogeek,

Did those pics help any?

[Technogeek]

Those pics are a great help because i want to beef my 83 200 hitch and help my mate make one for his 110

Thanks NUTHINSPECIAL!!

[200x_Basket]
