I picked this up last summer. It holds everything that I would normally put in my tourpak and saddlebag liners. I don't carry anything on my scoot except my wife. It tracks like a dream.

I pull one. Haven't had any problems. As has been said before - tongue weight - keep it under 30lbs. My trailer has a recommeded tongue weight of 15 lbs, but that is hard at times. Also here is where I got my trailer. The owner is Dale and a great person to deal with. http://www.motorcycletrailerstore.com/

Good for you! And I'll still take my bike and trailer.
If you have to pull a trailer with your bagger you are carrying to much crap, park the bike and drive your cage. On two week trips, I take a tent, sleeping bags, clothes, tools, toiletries, bike cover, and mama all on my Ultra with no "top heavy" problems, and no stinkin' trailer. C'mon it's a motorcycle, not a pickup. Just the things you absolutely need, leave the junk at home.

Well, I don't have a ultra with a tour pack and I noticed you didn't mention taking a cooler either. I like having a cooler and I need the space for my gear. Some of us need a little more gear than what you listed and we don't have a bike with its own trunk like you do. You didn't mention any cooking gear. Don't you cook for yourself or keep any beverages handy?

I see a lot of trailers behind motorcycles so it must not be that big of deal for some. To me, it is dangerous. I don't think bikes where meant to haul a trailer around. Using a trike to pull a trailer seems more appropriate. Don't want to belabor the point but it adds a element of danger to a already dangerous hobby. If you never have a problem then I am sure you will are a advocate of trailers. I would like to hear from those who have had a problem to get their views. To each his own.
