The kind that you pull behind the Goldwing, not the kind you live in. C’mon, keep up. 🙂 The previous owner put in a swivel for the tongue, which is a good thing, but the additional length made the safety chains too short. I measured the existing chains and added 8 inches to arrive at the length I thought would work. Off to the hardware store to get some chain and connecting links to simplify the hookup. Removed the swivel and the old chains, put the new ones in place and made sure the length was correct and reassembled everything.
The remaining task is to route the wiring and socket for the trailer lights. You don’t want an excessive length of wire, but there needs to be enough so that the wiring allows the full range of without stretching.
Once this is done, ready for the maiden voyage.
