Default Pull Behind Trailer

What kind of pull behind trailers do you own? I'm looking to buy before August and can't seem to decide which one. Any responses would be appreciated.

Lots of nice trailers out there. Depends on how much you want to spend. I have a Cyclemate. It does the job at a decent price.
If you are only going to use it once or twice a year I'd stick with a lesser priced trailer. Just my 2 cents worth.

Default Pull behind

I own a Bushtec. They are more expensive but have a lot of room and a suspension system that allows the trailer to track in bumps and corners perfectly. Check out www.bushtec.com.

I like pulling the trailer versus loading up the bike. It keeps the center of gravity lower and allows you to travel in luxury and comfort. The only time I notice the trailer is when braking. You will feel the extra weight pushing the bike.

I do not own a trailer and have never towed one with a motorcycle but my brother and a good friend both do.

My brother swears by the Inline trailer. He has owned three other trailers over the years and tell me this is the best by far. The only down side is the load capacity is a little less than average.

My good friend pulls the Bushtec and he says it is hard to beat.

Happy shopping

+1 for a Bushtec. the suspension is amazing. you absolutely don't know its there, especially in the twisties. like any trailer, the additional weight of a loaded trailer does affect starting and stopping, but the light weight of a Bushtec combined with its suspension system and taller tires makes it handle like a dream.

I think the bushtec is the way to go, you get what you pay for. If you are looking at in line check this one out

I like the Aluma, it is light, easy to keep clean and pulls like a dream. The wife and I just returned from a 2500+ mile trip and never had problem. They are always on ebay, but you can sometimes get a real good deal at the factory or through a dealer. I know the one I pull listed for over 1500.00 and it was bought from a dealer in KC for 1100.00. It was a year old.
