Hi! I am looking into using a small trailer for my xg750. I noticed there is a 200lb weight limit. It is making it difficult finding a trailer light enough for it that isn't ridiculousily expensive. I want something that will work for my German Shepherd dog. We both like going on adventures. I am not super confident with doing like some people do having the dog on the seat. Has anyone attached a trailer to their street bike? Where is a good source for a hitch and trailer? A picture of my bike and dog is below:

Product Manual

 

2015 Street 750 bike weight is 489 lbs. Max load front is 252 max load rear is 630. That means you can load 393 Lbs. HD does not give a towing limit because they do not want you towing a trailer. Weight in a trailer or sidecar is not the same as loaded on the bike. You have one or two more wheels supporting that weight. A trailer would not be a good idea for something that moves around in it.
I have a sidecar on a 21015 Street 750 The sidecar weight is 170 lbs, recommend load limit is 250 lbs. I have load 200 pounds of bag salt in it with no ill effects on the Streets ability to handle it. With a trailer a big concern would be tongue weight.
be careful be safe . Nice paint job.

 

I built my own. All aluminum with 660lb. torsion axles. Tows great till something shifts. You feel it. I vote no on the animals. Any way you go I suggest taller tires to slow down bearing speed. Rivco hidden hitch.

Drrot bike is bigger than the street models, still scary for me I could imagine jack knifing just turning around. I also see brake stopping distance being a factor.

 

Street 750 weight 468 lbs compared to a touring bike RGU weight is 899 shipped, 877 for Ultra limited That would make a big difference pulling a trailer.

 

Don't think I would pull a trailer with a street.

Certainly wouldn't risk my puppy's life in one!
