And what do you do about the steering?

On a slightly different topic, I have VolksCafe big bumpers
with a front receiver hitch. Any reason I couldn't just
insert a 2" bar in there that the other end was made up like
a trailer hitch rather than drop $700 on a roadmaster bar and
base plates?

Thanks,
Chris
