Sportster Tow Bar.

[stevepritch]

Has anyone put a tow bar on a sportster?
I had a quick look under a week or so back and I don't think I can fit it to the fuel tank or exhaust.
Any experiences pictures advice etc welcome.

Re: Sportster Tow Bar.

Not familiar with the Sportster chassis or when your car was first registered but you should be aware that!

Quote taken from a tow bar advice site "
European Law now states that all light passenger vehicles registered on or after 1st August 1998 require a type approved tow-bar tested to EC94/20 and tow-ball with suitable D&S value. This is not retrospective and does not affect any vehicle registered before this date.

Fitment of a non type approved towbar on a vehicle registered on or after 1st August 1998 could result in prosecution and in the event of an accident the vehicles insurance could be invalidated."
