I'm getting ready to do that on Wednesday, and like you I'm not at 100%. Told wife and kid today with the condition of my hip I can't squat down to do any heavy lifting so they had better be ready. On the bright side when I come back home from this I will have the empty nest syndrome going on. Can walk around in my boxers and don't have to worry about hearing from daughter "dad, that's disgusting, put your pants on". [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Come to think of it, I don't even have to have them on now; watch out wifey big daddy is home. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Nice looking trailer and paint job.

[iaing]

The trailer is made by a company called Watsonian Squire based Gloucestershire, England. in it 37"wide 30" high, 57" long with the tounge adding another 17" onto that, Due to the strict laws governing the size of trailers in the uk, this is just about as big as you can go legally but at 18 cu/ft it seems plenty big to me, You do get a bit of exhaust noise bouncing back but its not that bad.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

P.S Will post more pics once i get a chance

Here's mine - same manufacturer - older model.

I've modified mine to extend the drawbar for 2 reasons

1 - Made room to add a kitchen box

2 - Tows better with a long "A" frame (tow ball to trailer axle)

3 - (oh yeah, 3 reasons) -

And from another angle

Glad to see some of you pulling trailers. I have been pulling my trailer for 6 years now, started out pulling with my 96 wide glide and two up. I realized it was to much pressure on that light of a bike. So moved up to a Road King Classic with the new brakes and air suspension. I would not have ever pulled a trailer in the first place if were not for the tent that pops out of it. Makes all the difference in comfort, sleeping off the ground finally, able to carry all of your camping gear etc. Anyway once I get the new jester I will post pictures and more info. I drove over a scale awhile back just to see, 500 lbs loaded. I can tell you from experience that if you are pulling a trailer of this weight by yourself, no problem with power, however add the second person on the back and you better have some extra power. I have been doing fine with a 95 inch kit and the sceaming eagle heads. So the 103 or larger will do just fine. Now there is eight riders pulling these compact tent trailers and almost every one of them said I will never drag one of those things behind me. But, once you hook one on it is very hard to go back. Way to comfortable sleeping off the ground and we even have a portable shower and shower tent we can bring with instant hot water as long as you have a water source available.
