The present invention relates to an assembly for a trailer hitch for motorcycles that allows for easy attachment and an unobtrusive profile. The hitch assembly includes two (2) support ribs connected to the motorcycle frame and a cross piece to which a ball hitch is attached. The hitch assembly attaches to the frame of the motorcycle, regardless of whether the rear fender is a bob tail, a conventional fender or a low retro style; whether the wheel is a fat tire or not; and whether there are side bags or turn signals or not. The hitch assembly does not use supports mounted to the exterior of the wheel or hub. Further the hitch assembly in some embodiments can be installed such that it is not visible except for the ball hitch hanging down from the particular fender far enough to attach and detach a trailer tongue. In one embodiment the ball hitch is removably attached. The invention also addresses the potential height disparity between the ball hitch and the trailer tongue.
