I just took delivery on my R1S.
I tow pretty frequently, but live in an area where they'll take anything that isn't bolted down to your vehicle (and I hate the rattle when not towing). So I'm regularly taking the hitch off and putting it back on.
It's pretty tight getting the cotter pin in and out of the shank to secure the hitch, and I've already smashed my knuckles more times than I care to on it. In the past I've found the hitch locks to be too bulky and impede getting the brake cable and safety chains on....and with the R1S, it seems even worse.
Has anyone found a good solution or hitch lock to use?
