Trailer or not.....
Got a bud that pulls a HF trailer with his Wide Glide.
I have close to 100k miles pulling a piggybacker trailer and a camping trailer with a few different baggers.
A few important things are:
Tongue weight
Gonna take longer to stop
Gotta remember you are longer when changing lanes
I have never felt uncomfortable pulling a trailer, just have to remember it's back there.
Here's a few pics-
Using the cargo trailer to pick up inventory
On a road trip somewhere in Georgia
Camping in Alabama
Pop up tent trailer in Indiana
Don't really remember what State this was, but it was a nice little campground we stopped at on a cross-country trip.
I've been happy with Kury hitches and Hitchdoc. Also, make sure to use an isolator module between your bike wiring and the trailer wiring, that way if there is a problem with the trailer wiring it does not migrate to the bike electronics.
Have fun!

Also you want to have the bike end of the tongue to be an inch or so lower than the trailer end of the tongue, this keeps it handling nicely.

Camped across from a guy pulling a trailer with his Dyna on the way to Sturgis. I think it was a '05 Lowrider. He said it pulled just fine, even at 80 mph. Don't listen to these clowns telling you to drive a car, apparently they don't ride any farther than the local ice cream shop. I say go for it.

Yea, instead listen to the clown above, he likes Pabst so you know he has to have good taste in things.
