Trailer
Is it a 1200 or 883 Sporty?
How small (lbs?) is the trailer?
I know a few guys with 1200's that pull trailers. One guy I know has pulled a pop up tent trailer all over the country with his Sporty. Trailer weighs in about 350 lbs fully loaded.
I have close to 100k miles pulling trailers with Twin Cams, but none with Sportys. That said, I would not hesitate to pull a light weight cargo trailer with a 1200...I probably would not go over about 250 lbs fully loaded.
There are a few really important things to address when pulling a trailer with a bike, but once you get them down, it becomes second nature.
Here's a pic pulling a fully loaded cargo trailer with the Road King Custom.

I was wondering the same thing, you've answered half the question, lets see if we can reignite this post.
Has anyone towed a trailer with their sportster?
If so what size trailer did you use and how heavy did you go?

My fried tows a trailer with his vintage cb750four and a side car... I am pretty sure that back in the day when a BT was a 1200ish and that was a "big" bike you will be ok.
I would however proceed with caution because pulling a trailer is all about loading I properly... Ie: tounge weight... Ect
