You should have no problem pulling that trailer.

I have had mine for over a year.&nbsp\\; Pull with a 01 dresser.&nbsp\\; You will love the piggy.&nbsp\\; I also pull a aspen sentry camper.&nbsp\\; Ultra will handle the trailer no trouble.

I have a piggybacker also.

I did pull it with a glide , though it was noisy.&nbsp\\; Ended up putting rubber between the springs and ? just above them I think it was.

Now I am pulling it in back of an 883 sportster with the voyager kit .

I am not getting anywhere first , but it still works ...

The ultra should be AOK ...

The piggy backer I recived two weeks ago was alot more than I ever expeced. It took about four hours to put it together, spare&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;tire, spare complete set of bearings, extra nuts and bolts. Was the best 700 dollars i've spent in years, and pulls like a dream. DSR&nbsp\\; P.S I have an 05 ultra and you can't even tell it back there!!!

I'm thinking about the piggybacker too. Has anyone bought the one with the small wheels and then wished that you would have spent an extra $200 for the 12" wheels??? Would be interested in a used one too if the price is right!!!!!!!!!!!

Smile Clutch ???

A friend of mine pulled a trailer for 13K miles on one summer. His only problem was that he had to have the clutch beefed up. 13K is a lot of miles in one summer. Unless you have those kinds of plans, I wouldn't worry about pulling the trailer. I believe any touring Harley should handle the load. He got through most of that 13K before he had trouble and the bike probably had 15K on it before he bought he trailer.
