I visited a local trailer hitch company in Atlanta looking for a hitch that will support a 1 and 1/4 inch receiver hitch bike rack (like one from Saris). There is now a hitch recommended for the EX35 made by Curt Manufacturing, Model or part # 11500 at a cost of $176.00 and a one hour installation time. Installation instructions are included with the specs. No welding, but two holes will need to be drilled.
