Does anyone have tow bar dimensions?

[harleyrkc]

I tried the search function and didn't have any luck. I'm going to look at a pair of tow bars here locally. But I don't know what the dimensions of the original deuce tow bars were. Length, width, pin hole sizes on bar and adaptors? I was already told there a little over 4' long and slightly over 100 lbs. each.

yup, sounds about right but I'd say maybe a bit heavier. 120 or 130.

The medium towbar with single adapters and all the pins will come in just under the 140# mark. If you attach both adapters to the swing arms and nothing to the lunette arm each piece will come in just under 70#, the magic number the brown truck drivers charge excess to exceed.

I think I posted weights and dimensions in the thread about... deuce parts and their respective weights.

At the lunette end there is a one inch pin. The legs are adjustable in length, those pins are 3/4 inch. The ends where the "feet" attach is one inch again.
