All you trailer lovers.  Are there any drawbacks to owning one of those.....Driving (wind), handling, gas mileage  etc.....


Thanks in advance

Joe

Joe anytime you add length to your bike will allow the wind to move you around a little more than normal.

One thing to be careful of is riding close to the yellow line. There is the possibility that, on a two wheel trailer, the right wheel on the trailer could roll off the shoulder and cause you a handling nightmare. Just be aware of your surroundings.

You wll loose about 4 mpg. That is what we loose on our two wheel trailers. On the N-line, which we just sold, it did not affect mileage at all, and we pulled it behind two different bikes.

If you ride two up and take long trips, the extra cargo space is great.

Get one and enjoy

I would add making a right hand turn uphill from a stop.  That is really the only time that the trailer "tug" on the bike feels uncomfortable.

The Bush-Tec has independent suspension and I have been told that its not effected if one wheel drops, but I have no actual experience. The Bush-Tec looks better to me......but it is what it is and I have the N-Line. Pulled it over 3K last summer out west and never knew it was there. Hit a deer in CO and I know things would have been worse if I had not had the loaded trailer behind me. Plowed right over her!!

Biggest mistake I ever made was building a trailer to pull behind the bike. Once it was done I felt pretty proud of my build.....BUT I wish someone would have smacked me on the side of the head........ Especially cuz my wife and the other couples we ride with like to shop. I think I am going to get a sign that says "Bubs Transfer"........

All the pics that are posted are awesome!  But I kind of like the look of my setup........ 

[LovemyCVOgirl]

WOW!  These are all nice looking trailer's 

[SG Racer]

This is a nice set up.

This is what my wife came up with. She wanted to do her own deal, since she was buying new, she really didn't need me.
Non CVO but v twin, faster than my 11 FLTRx and a matching trailer with a soft suspension. Now it is her work truck and sports car (she sold her Porsche  Boxter S) and she drives it every day sooo not much I can say bad about the deal...
