I know a lot of people who pull trailers, including camping trailers, with their Harleys. I pull one on occassion too. Not a problem at all. My EG is stock and there's no problem. It will drop your mileage quite a bit when on the highway. Here's a site you may want to visit:

I saw these at the local swapmeet last weekend and it is a nice trailer. http://www.tntmotocorp.com/

The only bike I know of, that pulls a trailer and has a cooling fan on it was from the TOMBSTONE HEARSE CO.
They pull a lot of weight with the casket, trailer and body.

I don't but happen to have friends that do. They can be very handy and almost necessary for 2 up touring. Should have no problems pulling with even a stock bike. Several guys I know don't change anything on their bike( yes they run stockers) and run 20,000 miles per year. Everyone I know pulls Bushtec!

GOOD LUCK!!

I pulled a Bushtec with my BMW R1100RSLA and absolutely loved it. I plan on getting another Bushtec hopefully this year. It was a used one and boy do I wish I'd kept it. I used to be a Snap-on Tool dealer and I used to travel to meetings with it. I came home one night with a good deal on 3 tool sets along with some other stuff, had to be close to 275 lbs of iron. Pump up the air shocks until the tires are vertical (after rolling it) and away you go. I don't have a Harley yet, but I would be shocked if it caused overheating. You can't go wrong with a Bushtec! (No affiliation!). John
