Hi Victor,
I pull a motorcycle trailer behind my 2000. It's a "Cyclemate" brand that was
pulled behind a Honda Goldwing. When I bought the trailer I also got the
hardware which I modified to use on the roadster. Drilled holes through the
frame and trunk to secure the plate to the car. I cut the hitch off of the
Honda arms and welded it to a 3" x 1/4" x 38" steel plate. I mounted the plate
to the frame using four 1/2-13 lag bolts. . My trailer only weights 150 lbs
and is rated to hold same. I've taken it on many road trips and don't even
know the trailers attached. Had to put a fake antenna on the top of the
trailer so I can see if  I'm still pulling it. I'll be happy to post pics if
your interested.
Happy roadstering
Steve Harvey
