The length should be approx 17 feet with the tongue folded. I can't give you an exact measurement except to say that it is within an inch of the total spec length (nominally 19 feet).

On some TMs the hitch will swing either way - on others it will swing only one way. I never figured out why the factory did this, but it depends (of course) on which pins are removable. On my 2006 TM, for example, I actually used a hammer to try to drive out the pin on the road side. No go. It was firmly pressed into what I assume was an undersized hole, while the pin on the curb side slipped out easily.

If both pins can be removed, you can take off the entire A-frame and stash it somewhere else - a great theft deterrent!
