I took it to a weld shop & they custom made with all supports welded to frame. They charged $500.00 & mounted a chrome plate w/flags to square stock which goes in hitch when not towing.
Can't even see hitch when i remove & place the other piece in. you can see how it looks in my avatar.

Sweet looking rides but you need to have a custom trailer made to not detract from either vehicle (also painted red of course).

Oh my god a Corvette with a trailer Hitch. I think that violates one of the rules of The Corvette Code of Conduct. I'm only kidding. The Bike look super, great paint job. Wish I could afford another toy

John

PS: There is a guy in my area (upstate New York over 100 Inches of snow a year) who tows two snowmoblies all winter with his Corvette. Now that is a true violation.
