My new Aluma MCT trailer to pull behind my Street Glide
I just bought my trailer end of April, finally had the time to install my hitch & trailer light harness last week. Took it out on it's maiden voyage last Sunday, pulls great.
The dealer where I bought the trailer also has a body shop & would have painted it to match the bike for $300. Never having pulled a trailer b/4 with a bike I thought I would give it a try b/4 painting it to match the bike in case I didn't like it, easier to sell a black trailer.
I think the set up would look better if the trailer matched the bike, what do you all think?

I actually think there is enough black on your bike (seat, windshield, etc.) that your trailer looks good as it is. I just bought a red American Legend trailer and my bike's black (well, black pearl anyway), so I'm in the same/opposite boat as you. To paint or not to paint, that is the question. I think I've decided to go with the color-matched paint and not worry about re-selling it later. Chances are I'll keep it for a good long time anyway. And if future trailer-buyers are anything like me, they'll by a good trailer at a good price no matter what the color. They can always paint it.

I've had my Aluma trailer for 4 years and love it. One thing I added was a swival hitch. Lot better when you go into curves etc.. no bending on the hitch. Also, if you drop your bike (hope that never happens) switch hitch will turn and no bending of any parts. Did carpet the inside, that may a beg difference.
