I've had two Bushtec's over the years. The first one I pulled with a 1800 Wing at speeds the Harley could only dream of. They don't bounce and they track like train. The best made for the long haul. But, $$$ You really have to know your going to put on big miles.
If the pull behind trailer is for occasional use, nothing wrong with the Harbor Freight Tag Along. Less than $400.00. There are a couple of things you need to do to it before using like changing the grease in the hubs but, I've pulled one thousands of miles, loaded up with camping gear with no problems. You can put a cooler on the front (I put a 48qt on mine) and carry drinks and food. They work great.
I have an R&R 5X8 V-nose with a ramp to carry my bike.
Big enough to haul my Ultra but too small to carry two bikes.
I like it that way....
Too many people want to tag-along with their bikes.
I just want it to carry my bike and gear!
