Question:
Any adapter harness or plug that will adapt a round 5 pin plug on the lighting cable of a small Aluma motorcycle trailer to a 6 pin round outlet on a Gold Wing trike? Have pics of both, if needed.

Hi Charles; since none of the major manufacturers make an adapter you will have to make your own. You can take the Hopkins 6-Way Connector with Jacketed Cable # H20036 and attach the # PK11502 to the other end so you can plug in the 5-way from your trailer. You can also cut off the connector on the trailer and replace it with the Hopkins if you don't feel like messing with an adapter.

Hey Charles, did you decide to make your own adapter using the Hopkins connector and Pollak socket, or did you go with replacing the connector on your trailer? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others with similar setups.
