You could build one for less than $25.

Larry McFarland, I purchased your tow bar and nose wheel collar for my XL and I love the thing. Your quality and prices are absolutely the best. I would buy a tension gauge in a heartbeat if you produce them... How about a drawing (plans) that you could sell?????
