Trailer Pro and Cons
Let's talk trailers, the type you tow behind your bike.
I've had a American Legend and loved it.
Thinking about getting another one.
What do you recommend?

RE: Trailer Pro and Cons
Thats kinda like asking what is the best oil, or tires, etc. Everyone has an opinion, and whatever they own, whether a homemade or factory will be the best in their opinion.
I personally have a Bushtec that in my opinion is the best out there. Tracks well, no bounce, holds a lot, extremely well designed, including the unique suspension and hitch. Bushtecs are one of the best around, according to lots of user feedback on some of the MC trailer forums. I am extremely pleased with mine, and would do it again.

the tall, thin tires on the Bushtec don't grab the ruts. In fact, I have to quite often look back to see if it is still there. In addition, even when going over speed bumps, I feel the bump on the bike as the bike tires go over, but nothing from the trailer. Bushtec is an amazing trailer.

Anyone tried one of those one wheeled "uni-go" trailers? I noticed that my dealer is now a distributer for them. I think this is the manufacturer page: http://www.schoolhousemcacc.com/index.php/cPath/6.
Does its ability to lean significantly improve handling?
On the one hand it looks too small that I think I would want more space to justify pulling a trailer, but then it is small enough that you can wheel it into a hotel room with you.

The Uni-Go is kindaa niche product. Like you, iffen ah'm gonna pull a trailer, it's gonna be big 'nuff ta carry 'nuff stuff ta make it worthwhile. They've hopefully reworked the hubs - buddy has one, the bearings cratered on him, an' we like ta have never gotten the races out. Had a local machine shop cut a keyway in the hub ta facilitate removal of the races if it happens again. If just the bearing races are left, the hub shoulder blocks the race, makin' it impossible ta knock the races out.
