Heritage pull behind trailers (look just like Bushtec Roadstar)
« on: June 23, 2015, 02:59:05 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with Heritage brand pull behind the bike trailers? They look identical to the Bushtec Roadstar. They're about half the price, and I'm sure the quality is not as good, but can anyone tell me if they're decent quality and how they compare to Bushtec?

I do not have any knowledge of these trailers however, a quick google search they sure appear to be very close to the Bushtec Turbo GT trailer that I have......with a couple big exceptions.  That's the heim joint hitch and no paint.

These are the Chinese knock-off of all types of trailers.

They are imported from China and are a knockoff. I just sold the US importer a Turbo 2 with the third brake light in the top.  He informed me he needed it to as the current tops on their trailer where ill fitting so they were going to pull a mold off the one I sold them to get a better quality product.  Not sure what else they intend to copy but at this time all parts and trailers are from China and not of high quality. They also bring in a American Legend knockoff and people I have talked to said there quality was so bad they had to do a total rebuild in order to even use safely.

I'm with Chip stay clear buy a used Bushtec you will be very happy.

jb, build your own. It's not that hard to do and you can build what ever you want. There is  all kinds of information on the internet and videos showing step by step instructions. You can go as inexpensive or as lavish as you want.
I just built one for under $450.00 and it does as good as my American Legend did.
I enjoyed the building process and the results.

Thank you all for the information! I will certainly stay away. If anyone has or knows of a good used Bushtec Roadstar please let me know. I'm in no hurry, as I won't need it until next year.
