As long as you have the weight distributed correctly, you can tow a LOT with a big bike.
I did over 6,000 miles with this rig last summer, over a month's time.
And yes, the original bearings are packed in what looks like Vaseline. I repacked them in high-temp bearing grease when I was putting the trailer kit together, and repacked them at the halfway part of the trip. No issues.

I just bought a Northern Tools trailer 40in x 48 inch on sale. Got the one with the 12in tires. Put it togeather 2 afternoons after work. This one comes with grease fittings on the wheel hubs. I received the Certificate of Origin in the mail in 2 days. Went for a ride last night and you can not tell it is back there. All set for Daytona Bike Week and camping at the Cabbage Patch. Now I can take all my camping stuff. $269 delivered to my door.

Girlfriend says she would rather camp than stay in a hotel so I am looking for a trailer, kind of leaning toward one of the Escape trailers from these people. Look like good quality and not TOO pricey. http://americasbesttrailers.com/

Last Spring, I picked up a Harbor Freight Tag-Along trailer, when they were on sale. I added LED lights to it, but sold my Dyna before putting a hitch on it. Finally got around to getting a hitch for my Road Glide last month. After a runaround exchanging centrer sections with them, I got my rig ready to roll. I put about ten pounds, bungied down, into it. Went for about a ten mile ride. Pulls nicely, no wobbles or sways. I'm looking forward to taking my wife on some camping trips next summer.

I have the tag-a-long trailer and it does great. You will be surprized how much it will hold. I think they still sell it.

And yes, repack the bearings.
