Having sold my Tenere the hitch is for sale for $250 plus shipping. Will come with a new coat of Rustoleum.
pm me if interested

The hitch holding the center stand down was the biggest issue but then removing the c'stand's not hard.
The trailer did affect braking and in a hard stop the ABS will kick in. Actually less issue than with a big passenger, as the hitch is low. Not enough of an issue to install e-brakes.
The whole addition reduces gas mpg about 10%.




Wiring diagram shown below which you'll need to attach under the rear seat. While there are some being sold commercial, I bought the diodes and simply soldered them in. Don't remember the values, but easy to Google.



You can get the connector from AutoZone or Amazon

Now this is interesting. It only dropped mpg 10%? Amazing. I have one on my wing and ST1300.

Depended on speed obviously, but the bike has enough power the mpg hit wasn't horrible normally.
At 90 mph (yes with those little wheels) the mpg dropped to low 30s.

[Note: Current set of wheels have been up to maybe 70 mph tops]
