Default Is it cool to pull a wagon ?

Hey guys , I'm in a dilema . My wife and I like to ride 2up and she like's to bring a lot of stuff on our trips . I ride a EGC and don't like the top heavy feel . I'm thinking of pulling a trailer but don't no if I want that bulky looking hitch when not pulling the trailer sticking out .
Is there anything out here that looks kinda cool looking ? And priced right .

Check out the Uni-Go. A one-wheel trailer that supposed to allow even aggressive sport riding.

Here's a great demo vid on youtube featuring a Harley.

I don't know how cool it is, but if you need one you need one and I (my wife actually) need one.

You say you don't like the top heavy feel? How about the wiggle waddle feel?

If anyone tells you they can't feel a trailer behind them they're only being half honest at best. It's true my Bushtec pulls like a dream, and most of the time I can't tell it's back there, but when you're braking or accelerating away from a stop sign, you know it's back there.
I'm partial to the Bushtec, the hitch system is the best out there, period. The air shocks, the low weight, the a-arm suspension, the 16" wheels, and the balance of the think all mean you're pulling one of the best trailers made for a bike.
As far as top heavy or wiggling, there simply isn't any wiggling even when hitting expansion bumps, and you're less top heavy with the trailer because I leave all my bags mostly empty. Now there's little or no weight in the tour pak and I don't carry anything on top of the tour pak either.
We love our Bushtec. At first my wife made fun of my idea to get one, but now... it's a different story!
PM me if you want more pics.

Bushtec should share their secret with the RV industry (and all other trailer manufacturers around the world) because the only trailer any of them make that has very little wiggle is the fifth wheel.
