I have coverage through Harley. But my bf looked into getting coverage through AAA and they are nuts I think they quoted him like 169.00. I have triple A but just for my truck....even then I have issues with them because of my rims. I am looking to build my own trailer.

And major thanks to everyone that offered to help me out...I appreciate it a ton...and special thanks to cHarley and Mike (Wide Glide) who gave technical support over the phone....

Someone posted on the Forum a couple of weeks ago about a towing service offered by AMA. I don't have that one just thought I'd throw it in if anyone was looking to change services.

I know it's late for any advice at this point, but the brake light issue is real common when you have opened up and reinstalled the clam-shell housing. If you don't wedge a piece of cardboard between the brake lever and the switch, the end of the switch gets broken off when the housing is reinstalled and the the brake light stays on continuously.

BTW - How many times in the past couple of weeks have you wished you still had that Dyna? J/K

No the 169.00 was quoted to my bf for just his bike alone(It's that RV+ Bullchit).

My truck is insured under AAA my bike is insured under Progressive and my towing for the bike is covered under HD and I just found out my bike is coverd under Progressive too.

It will be nice to have my own trailer....that way if a friend is ever in need I will be there for them.

thats easy....NONE zero nada.....the Bluegoose was a good bike...but Da King is so much nicer of a ride......besides like I said this was self inflicted...
I found out about the brake light switch when I read the manual..unfortunately I got the manual AFTER I had split the switch housing..oh well live and learn....
