Thanks but for various reasons none of those options will really work
for me.
Someone said you can get longer length draw bars, I'd be very
interested in finding out where...

Re: ball hitch with extra long shank
Remember you want for handling the ball as close to the rear axle
as possible. That fourteen inches you want, may make a fishtail action
impossible to control. Often I've extended the trailer tongue to make
towing a little more bearable, or ugly tow bar:

Re: ball hitch with extra long shank
I think he mentioned he was going to be hauling a motorcycle but I don't
recall if he was hauling it in a trailer.
Extra long tongues surely make control more difficult but if his intent was
to built or extend a cradle for the bike's front wheel it would not make
that much difference would it?
