Trailering tips....?
"this thing is heavy.".
Any other clues?....
I guess you may have a Fatboy? What kind of trailer you towing?
Single rail? Bigger?
You may need to help us out.
Welcome to your 1st post.

So..... You're going to pull a trailer behind your fatboy, or your fatboy is going to ride on a trailer?
