A local shop put the Curt hitch on mine. They charged about $200 for the hitch, 2" ball, installation and wiring. I am very pleased with the result. I pull a 10' trailer with my Ninja on it, and also have a receiver mount bike rack we haul our bicycles on. The VX acts like the trailer isn't there. It will get a real test next month, when I load 2 bikes on the trailer and pull them deep into the Texas Hill country. The hitch isn't any lower than the gas tank, but it is all the way out under the bumper, so it might affect ground clearance when the VX pitches. It was a no-brainer for my needs.
