Fortunate Fellow!
'tis far better to tow and ride than not to ride at all.

I posted early on in this thread and since then my trailer and hitch came in. Well it's all installed and hooked up so I thought I'd share a pic of my new rig.

Hey that looks great! I have the same bike, so I'm looking forward to reading about your impressions about towing with the Ultra Classic!

Hi All.
I just ordered my first trailer from a guy here in the UK. There are real hard to get hold of here!
I have just finished installing my MCHitch towball that I heard about from this site (thanks) onto my 07 RK Custom.
Here's a few pics of how I have tried to keep it hidden when not in use.
I have made the 12" connector so that I can pull the trailer with either the bike or a truck (different plug).
Thanks all.
Rowle.

No its great !
Ride to where you are going, put the tent up ( and all the other stuff the wife needs !)
Dump the trailer, and spend a week riding a few hundred miles fast as you like with your mates !

I pull a Harbor Fright Haulmaster Tag A Long. It seems to be a good little trailer for a budget price. It is stable and surefooted at highway speeds even tho it says max 55 MPH. All I need to do is upgrade the lighting and maybe some chrome in the future.

Hey bros. am thinking about buying a pull behind trailer to pull behind my Ultra. Next year wife and I are planning a trip from Reno up into Idaho,Montana to Yellowstone,back down into Utah, the Grand Canyon. What are your thoughts about pulling a trailer and what's a good trailer to look at.
Thanks
Santa
Course there's many kinda of trailer out there too, and I find the single wheel platform to handle the greatest hands down, if it supplies you enough cargo space
