Nice Trailer!
Does towing it affect fuel mileage much?

For those that do not know, the Tailwind is manufactured by Mr. Tom Finch in Texas. It is the ultimate of the ultimate in motorcycle trailers. Of course it is super expensive and you never see a used one for sale. One day I will try to get one, but now, I have to settle for something way, way under $7,000.

Great looking trailer and had only ever seen it pulled by a goldwing. It has the goldwing tail lights on it. However, it looks great with the Harley as well.

Looks good behind my Valkyrie also.



Just looked at my invoice. Bought new, March 1, 2006. $4,945.00. That included the on board compressor and crate. Even that was expensive, but so are my bikes.

Tom Finch is great guy to deal with.

Al, that Valk rig looks great together. I had a 2001 Valk Interstate as a trike. Great riding 1500 machine. Let know when the Tailwind comes up for sale

7 grand dayum I thought my 3 grand Bushtec was expensive enough. But a pull behind trailer is something you will only have to buy once.
