Hey Robert, sweet ride! My buddy also had a Shadow that he painted black and he chopped the pipes, it was pretty cool. But for a hitch I'd suggest going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75742.
This hitch has a nice, beefy, 675 lb tongue weight capacity which is going to be plenty for your carrier and your bike. This hitch also has a nice 4,500 lb capacity which is also great incase you ever found yourself wanting to tow a small trailer in the future.
Feel free to let me know in the comments if there is anything else I can do for you!
