Will the Yakima EXO Enclosed Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Fit a 2008 Honda Goldwing Trike

Question:

Will it fit my trike? If not what product do you have that will. Thanks

The Yakima EXO enclosed Swing Away carrier # Y62VR, is designed to fit in a Class III or IV trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. You will need less than 4-1/4 inches between the center of the hitch pin hole and the back of the bike so the carrier will fit in that weight but you will have to check the tongue weight capacity.

The hitch and bike will need to have a tongue weight capacity that meets or exceeds the capacity of the carrier. The carrier itself weights 97 pounds and has a 100 pound capacity. The bike and hitch will need to have at least a 200 pound capacity to use the full 100-pound capacity of the carrier.

Unfortunately, I do not believe trikes have 2- inch receivers.
