Default Suggestions for a trailer to pull behind my bike

Wanting ideas for a what brand of trailers there are to pull behind my Limited. Really like the idea of the ones with 1 wheel on the rear and leans with the bike. Seen them out at Sturgis by N-Line in West Desmoines IA. that ain't far from me, any one familiar with these or other manufactures. Oh and I did a search and went thru 10 pgs. and came up with nothing, unless I did it wrong.

If you don't find a single wheel trailer you like take a look at the Piggy Backer, new for $950. They have a swivel on the hitch so that when the bike leans the trailer stays level. They have several other nice features as well.
I have some friends that own one and all are very satisfied.
Ride safe.
Steve.

If you have lots of extra cash lying around the skies the limit. A buddy of mine has a Bushtec and really likes it. I went cheaper and bought a used Piggybacker for $500 and it works great for me.

I wanted to start out inexpensive to see if I could pull a trailer ok. I bought a Harbor Freight trailer and put a Sears X-cargo clam shell on it. It hauls a lot of stuff! It is easy to pull. 2 weeks ago I just traded my 2007 Road Glide for a 2012RG. Now my hitch does not fit and the dealer warned me it would invalidate my warranty. Just as well, my OL and me anre able to get most everything in saddle bags and on luggage rack anyway. No more grocery trips!

You've got to go a long way to beat the versatility, dependability and styling of the Bushtec Line.
