Here is a picture of mine from the back, I put 3 receivers on. I use the outer 2 to haul a bike.  Tom

Digging through my 102 manual I found in the part number section a listing for a rear reinforcement kit. I think it does break down some of the kit, which seems to be added gussets etc. However they do not show it on a diagram to see where the gussets etc are to be added. I will eventually be added a hitch for a toad but that will not be for a while down the road. I am also thinking of sending the rear construction diagram to my brother and have him analyze it and give me some suggestions for reinforcement. He is a mechanical engineer and I am sure he can provide me some insight on how to reinforce things to put my mind at ease. I have already notice I have a break in the steel that supports the engine cradle. So I know I already have some work to do back there.
