I'm looking to buy a single bike trailer to haul my 2011 Street Glide around. I don't plan on using it often, just to move it from one province to the other due to my job postings with the Air Force.
I'm not looking to blow thousands of cash on a full covered all singing all dancing hauler, I just need a safe and sturdy compact trailer that will do the job well.
Weight will be an issue; I plan on using my Civic SI to pull the trailer.
If you have any suggestions or links to a good trailer, I'd really appreciate the help.

Well a StreetGlide weighs in around 800lbs. Pretty much any 6x12 enclosed trailer should work. I would be more concerned about what you will be pulling it with.....a Honda Civic?

 

I stated that weight was an issue and I'm not looking for a covered trailer. I've see small trailers on the net like "trailer in a bag" or "The One" both are compact and look like they would fit my needs. I was just hoping that someone out there would have some experience with that type of trailer.
As for the Civic, Gas in Canada is over $1.32 a litre, or $5 a gallon!!!

I would suggest looking for a Kendon single bike trailer. They are open bike trailers that fold up for storage when not in use. You may be able to find one used. Even if you bought new, you could probably sell it quick. They don't last long on Craigslist around here. I have the 2 bike Kendon and it is excellent quality. I wouldn't recommend hauling a 20 thousand dollar bike around on a cheap chinese knock off trailer.

 

You can probably tow the Civic with the Harley for much cheaper

 

jb13 - amen on that!

 

I can see it now. Towing a StreetGlide on an open trailer behind a Honda Civic.
What might result in the event of emergency stop would be some kind of Harley/Honda Can-AM Spider trike. YIKES!

 

My advice would be to buy a cheap used 5x10 or 6x10-12 lawnmower type trailer. Shouldn't be more than a couple hundred pounds more weight than a dedicated motorcycle trailer and they are MUCH more versatile, and most likely cheaper to buy.

FYI, I bought a 6x10 lawnmower trailer brand new for $500 here in NC.

 

I've got a Kendon single rail trailer that I use occasionaly to haul my Limited. It tows very easily and is very compact when folded and stood up in the garage. Not cheap, but very well built.
