    hi guys my Curt Hitch is here which I bought from CURT Manufacturing 112762 Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 2" Euromount, Pin and Clip



    I don't have a bike but I bought a hitch just to stop these crazy drivers from hitting my bumper when parking parallel, next time you drive check those bumper in front of you and you can see those scratches from the front plate they are hitting intentionally when parking parallel, I have 1 neighbor who bought a brand new Corolla loaded with skirt and now his rear bumper his full of scratches, I saw this guy over 10 times already when parking parallel hitting the front bumper of a 1992 Corolla, and guess what I have 4 more neighbor that I saw doing same exact thing, now that my hitch is here and with this ball mount on it I will add more spike heads on it and I also bought the License plate Bumper Protection Guard just for these i****s which cost me almost $170 just so to protect my bumpers from scratches, anyways..

    I am in Peninsula Bay Area anyone can help me install it or can lend me a tool I think I only need 19 socket with a long extension. I'll bring you a pizza :p

    JayLn,
    Where you live? I am near SFO San Bruno. I have tools/power tool etc.

    I can help but I never install a trailer hitch before, is it comes with installation instruction? sometime you need to torque the bolts which I have torque wrench.

    Shoot thanks so much, unfortunately I just got home and opened the box and boom!!! It is missing the 2" Euromount, Pin and Clip, bolts and washer, I just talked to amazon they will ship me a new one it will be here on Tuesday, so when can we do it? Glad you can help me, no need for manual this is just 4 bolts remove and install. Wednesday sounds good 2-3pm? Or thursday my day off.

    @JayLn, show some pics after install! I'm interested in preventing dumb drivers bumping my bumpers too :)
