pull behind trailer

RE: pull behind trailer
When moving from Florida to Nevada I needed to build a trailer for my Seadoo.
As mentioned above by someone, that garden one won't cut it.
I ended up getting one at Harbor Freight for about $100 or so on sale, then modified it for the seadoo.
This was back in '99', and I pulled it behind my Z-28 averaging about 85 -90 mph much of the way. Hubs never got hot and trailer still running today in Texas after I sold it to a friend of mine while living there.
That trailer has more miles on it than most, and is one tuff SOB.
Just checked the Harbor Frieght website, they still have a similar one for $139, maybe it will go on sale, not sure, but it could be a good easy start, frame, wheels, shocks, hitch, lights, can't beat it!
Good luck!!!!

See if this link works for the trailer.
And yeah, I know some of you are gonna say Harbor Freight has junk, but this thing diagonally crossed the country loaded at fairly high speeds, saw salt water, fresh water, hot climate, freezing climate.
After all that, pulled to San Antonio from Reno, again, hubs never heating up.
Harbor Freight might have some crap, but not this time.

I like that last one! I am going to make a hitch myself, so that it will slide under either side of my swing arm and bolt in... one of the guys i ride with is a machinist... just not very creative... so i will design it and he can make it... that last pic of the tear drop is more what i am going for... i have no problem making it on my own i just do not want to go over 200 bucks... if it will cost over that i will simply not do it (unless the ricers that i ride with want to pay for it! ha ha ha)

It was my understanding that you couldn't put a trailer hitch on a Dyna.
Or,it it just that no one makes a hitch for a Dyna?

RE: pull behind trailer
you can find a pre-made hitch on the web for a dyna, and i'd recommend you go with one of them. try http://www.hitchdoc.com/hitches.html
as for the trailer, you can certainly go with a HF and make your own. there are issues you need to be concerned about, such as wheel size, leaf springs, etc.
or there are custom trailers from Bushtec, Tailwind, etc that are made specifically for MCs. I have a Bushtec that I pull behind my UC that IMHO is clearly one of the best. However, it is spendy and you can build one from a HF trailer kit. Depending what you want and expect, you get what you pay for.
