Sportster Pulling Trailer

Sportster Pulling Trailer
I have a 1991 Sportster 883 that I have upgraded to 1200.
With the 883 Sportster I was pulling a trailer that weighs 150 lbs empty but with camping gear for 2 people for 2 weeks plus a full cooler of ice drinks & food.
MY question is,
How much weight is the 1200 upgrade sportster able to pull ? ? ?[/SIZE]

I am a member on another forum called Soviet Steeds, not that it matters but it is dedicated to a 40hp bike called a Ural. It is a 750cc bike that several people pull trailers with the tech on that bike is old super old, still uses drum brakes on the back. I sportster with the 883 motor has more than enough power to pull a trailer, at least one made for a motorcycle. And for stoping just give yourself extra room and maybe rig up a braking system on the trailer, wouldn't be to hard.

My manual on page one says;
Take a rider training course.
read owners manual before riding.....
wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.
never tow a trailer.
The next paragraph says;
Do not use aftermarket parts... ...could result in death or serious injury.
REALLY??? using aftermarket parts could cause death?
