B&W turnover install into 07 Classic (pics)

[Rodknock]

Installed my B&W turnover into my (wife's) 07 Classic today (10/22/14).

Quite the project I must say. Nice that the hitch is AMERICAN made, and has directions you can understand..

Took every bit of 6 hours to install this thing. Of course I spent an hour just trying to get the very poorly engineered spare tire out!! What a POS design.

I'll let the pictures, with some narration, do the talking.

Heat shields to be removed. Of course they are held in with Torx fasteners, to never be removed again, but my plasma cutter fixed that

Thanks for the pictures!

I love B&W. We sell their turnoverball hitches where I work. We also do well with their line of Companion 5th wheel hitches. Best hitches on the market, if you ask me.

Have had mine in my 2003 since day 1. Great hitches and yes, American made!

I have one on my 2006 and love it.
