Default Bushtec Trailer

My new Bushtec Roadstar. I got to tour the factory and was impressed that almost everything is made in house and most of it is also in America. I did find that the license plate light is made in Tiawan. Sure does pull nice.

Sure looks nice. Those things aren't cheap though. I'm guessing well over four grand?

Yes the Bushtec trailers are very expensive. Look at one and pull one and some of the price can be justified. I have pulled it empty and with over 200# and there was no difference. As the guarantee states, IT WILL NOT BOUNCE. The bounce is what gets most two wheelers in trouble. It was a gift from my GF and I probably would not have spent that much myself.

Just purchased a used Turbo II to haul the wife's gear. Looks like one of the few that hold their re- sale value. Taking a 2 week trip around lake Huron in the fall, sure will be nice having the extra room for gear.

Gorgeous!! Trike with trailer is the perfect long trip combo. I have a 2007 RKC Champion trike with Escapade trailer; our trip to Tennessee last year was a joy.

You're going to have great times with this combo. Congrats!!
