My wife is planning to take some longer trips with me and believes we need a trailer for all her stuff - unless I can make it a week with one pair of jeans. I've tried to search for previous topics, but there no way to narrow the search to trailers that motorcycles pull versus trailers motorcycles ride in, so I haven't found anything useful. I've researched sites for American Legend, N-Line and Bushtec, but they don't offer the advantages they offer over their competitors. All I have to go on is price and looks. Can any of you with experience pulling trailers give me some pointers to consider? I'll be pulling it with a 2010 CVO Ultra Classic. Thanks for your help.
Sounds like you plan to use the trailer often?
Price and looks.
What is your preference for both?
Most all the trailers on the market will "do the job".
I bought the cheapest trailer I could find for my '09 (not the flashiest, but, it worked flawlessly) and went on a 22,000 mile tour last summer......NO problems with the setup at all.
Pulling the trailer seemed to make the bike handle better in crosswinds, but, it coulda been just the '09 frame?
Now, the wife is not into camping anymore, and we don't pack as much gear.
This rig weighed close to 400 lbs when I checked on the road.
Good luck in your search, I think you will not mind the "extra load" you just have to slow down a bit.
