trailering
How big of a difference is there in pulling a piggy backer trailer and like a Bushtec r something on that level? \\; The Piggy Backer weighs 170 pounds empty and pulls pretty good. \\; However, this is the only trailer I have ever pulled behind my stock 05 ultra. \\; I just got back from a 1500 mile roundtrip pulling the piggy backer. \\; For some reason, it could all be in my head but, it seems like pulling the triler strais the bike and I really don't want to hurt the motor. \\; what are your thoughts?

RE: trailering
the bushtec turbo II is 125 lbs empty. \\;\\\\\\; the taller the tire, the easier the trailer rolls and isn't as affected with chuck holes as a smaller tire trailer is. \\;\\\\\\; I've not pulled a piggy backer so can only relate my experience with the Bushtec. \\;\\\\\\; Other that starting and stopping with the trailer fully loaded, that is the only time you can tell the trailer is back there. \\;\\\\\\; it corners great and is not affected with bumps since it does not bounce due to the design of the suspension. \\;\\\\\\; I'd recommend you maybe check your tongue weight. \\;\\\\\\; Believe the recommendation is 10% of the total trailer weight (trailer and load). \\;\\\\\\;
