I will agree with Bill, I have found that if I have the kingpin a little lower than the hitch as you back up the kingpin rides onto the head plate, this will force the suspension of the truck down and allow for a tight connection. Your latch will automatically close and lock in place with ease.

I have only had one time where the angle was just to great to get connected to my Superglide. Here is the trick I came up with to solve the problem. I took the head plate off the hitch and slide the head plate onto the kingpin manually. It will automatically close and wrap around the kingpin as if it were on the hitch itself. Then all you have to do is back under the kingpin and lower the head plate back onto the hitch, attach the pins on each side of the head plate hook your brakes up and your off. As stated this has only happened once and it sure would not stop me from buying another Superglide. It is an amazing hitch for us shortbed owners. Worth every penny!
