It's a good thing y'all bought touring bikes!!!,,,,,, Whats wrong with riding them??? The only reason I can ever see to haul my bike is if it was broke down, or if my health somehow restricted me from riding more than a couple hundred miles a day. I aint trying to slam y'all for haulin your touring bikes,, (well kinda),,,, but guys,,, your missing the best part!!! Ride the bike, take your time & enjoy the journey! Touring on a bike is so much more enjoyable than in a cage!!! JMO
Here in Utah riding season usually ends in November and resumes in March or April.

Whatever trailer you end-up with, don't make the mistake of installing gawdy HD stickers and logos all over the outside of the trailer. That kind of advertising is all a determined crook needs to know while you are sleeping snuggly in your motel bed. Bolt cutters are real cheap and are sold everywhere. Regardless of how hardened or strong you think your lock is, it isn't.
You would be much better off from a security position with something like "Joe's Septic Tank Service" painted on the sides and rear. And I am being totally serious.

But if I see a Low Hauler going down the road with "Joe's Septic Tank Service" on the side I'll wave at ya!

The guy that posted this trailer is probably your best choice.

I've had steel enclosed trailers for years and finally spent the extra $$$ on an aluminum enclosed. My only regret was waiting so long.

This will get her done BUT If I was buying a trailer from them I'd be snatching up this one .... https://www.prolinetrailersales.com/...ailer-for-sale
It's a used one but a lot more trailer as for Fit and Finish, both inside and outside.
I didn't think so, it requires a certain aptitude, and willingness to accept other folks needs without judgement.
Want to know the main difference between guys that utilize trailers and those that don't?
Those that use trailers don't give a **** if the other guy does or does not.

WOW Seems Oil , Bike-Lift and Trailer threads have something in common

I share DHubbs view but I have had it explained to be in detail before by a Very Smart Guy what the benefits of Trailering are and I cannot dispute the logic behind it... That Trailering allows one to ride more up "At The Event" or at the Location... The Rockies, The Grand Canyon, West Coast, Cranfills Gap, Daytona.... wait it can't be ride more.. it must have been Attend the Event and Ride at Whatever Location.
I Can see the point that If not being able to load the trailer up and share driving chores with a buddy or two and cover 1100-1500 miles in a day vs 2-2.5 days and arrive "Ready to Ride" instead of "Ready to Rest" for a day.. Same thing on ride back and when you have to leave to arrive "Ready to WORK"
God Knows the trip I took to Sturgis this year (1st Timer) would have been a lot easier on my near 60 year old body if I'd have trailered it and I could have stayed in the Trailer instead of my two man tent at the Chip!
So I'm going to do just as SAFETYMAN says and do my best to show an certain aptitude, and willingness to accept other folks needs without judgement. This should not be hard as over the last 20 years I have had to do this exact same thing everyone from the unemployed to immigrants of all varities, the tree huggers and the LGBT communities.
Heck now that I have it down in front of me in black and white doing it for some Good Ol boys towing towing their Harleys around in a Trailer so they can party in Daytona ought to be a piece of cake
