Default Trailer recommendation
Greetings all,

I have been searching the web for a trailer to tow behind my RK. Anyone have any recommendations of manufactures to look at or stay away from? What about a hitch, does that come with the trailer or do I need get that separate?

Kevin

Default Aluma Trailer
Kevin, I have been very happy with the Aluma trailer that I bought several years ago. They have one or two bike styles . Mine is the 2 bike version and only weights 540lbs. I can easily tow two touring bikes with my Ford Explorer with a small v6 motor.

He is looking for a trailer to tow behind his bike, not a trailer to tow his bike.

It doesn't matter what trailer you will buy, make sure that the toal weight (after loading) is less than 400 lbs.
Unless, you only travel in those "flat" states, like FL, KS...
I have a Ultra limited, and a more than 500 lbs trailer is a big no, no!
IMO!

If I were in the market for a trailer, it'd be Bushtec all the way.
