says the shank is 2", if your touring is the same as my 850 it needs an 1-1/4 shank, I bought mine at the auto parts store, doesnt have the 3 way deal but its a hitch

There is also a 1&1/4 to 2" adapter available. Got mine at Northern Tool. It slides in/pins to your hitch. Nice thing is it allows you to use all of the same 2" set-ups you have for your vehicle so you're not stock with a bunch of different size drop hitches and such.

I believe switz is talking about this adapter...Just be aware that your capacities are still for 1 1/4" and not 2"...

That's the one I have. Use the heck out of it! Allows me to use my 2" aluminum adjustable drop hitch on the wheeler(makes me feel a little better about the big price tag on the hitch-gets used a lot more-lol).

Just to clarify ...when I mentioned capacities, I was referring to weight capacities...

Keep an eye out for a Harbor Freight sale catalog. The 1 1/4 to 2 inch hitch adapters go for under 10 bucks when they're on sale. It's currently listed at $21.99 but their fliers and catalogs have them cheaper.

1-1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter - Trailer Hitch - Automotive & Motorcycle

I picked up a 1 1/4 to 2 inch adapter, a 2 inch ball hitch and a shackle hitch for under 20 bucks when I ordered mine.

Keep in mind that the pin on the 1 1/4 section isn't a standard size. I think they're 1/2 inch and not the standard 5/8 inch. You'll need two different pins for the adapter.

I wish Polaris would have just put a damn 2 inch receiver on the things to begin with so a person wouldn't have to screw around with extra adapters and keep track of oddall sized pins.
