i see most of the sites that sell hitches for bikes offer on for a sporty as far as a trailer i would probably homemake one with aluminum frame and the smallest cartopper available nothing heavy i just want to put 3 or 4 days of clothes and few necessities. i had a friend years ago pulled a trailer behind a honda cb 650 all over the country.

a lot of it has to do with the way the trailer is loaded...tongue weight...10/15% of the load...and than there's the trailer's suspension...that has a great deal to do with the ride....also the hitch ball..amount of play at the ball makes a different..
another site...gl18oo.forum...go to trailer section....like I've said don't know of anyone pulling with a sporster...but Can't see as to why not......Be the first if need be........BC

I don't think they would be too good at that....I hooked a 37' camping trailer to mine and couldn't budge it...just kept spinning the tire on my bike.
