Towing a trailer impacts on braking, so an emergency stop distance is greater. To compensate I ride slower and try to leave a bigger gap between me and other vehicles, the same as towing with a car to truck. This way I have as much chance or avoiding a crash as riding slightly faster without the trailer. I also avoid towing the trailer through towns and cities as much as possible, can't be helped sometimes when touring.

 

May I suggest if you have Non-Stock aftermarket shocks ( Legend ) contact Legend as you may have pre-load adjustments and weight limits that are dictated by the make, model and specs of those aftermarket shocks no longer the bike specs when it had stock shocks.
I have found most aftermarket shock companies have nice folks that will answer this kinda question via email or a phone call. If nothing else can tell you exactly how to set the shocks with the exact weight you have on the bike now....

 

Man, I wish.

Ur golden with that weight. Maybe eat a burger or 2.....mmmm...burger.

 

Problem is you never know when. I locked up last week when someone pulled out, riding out in the country. Have hit deer too. I except the risk in my truck cause I need to pull something, and in a truck. Like I said we all decide out level of comfort. I ride in a t-shirt, I am not ATGATT.

Just my opinion, obviously many people pull trailers.
