I have an American Legend on order as we type. It is the Legend series. Blends right in with the Harley shapes and looks. Base trailer is $2900 and goes up from there. I dealt with Bill Bennett. Very friendly and easy to work with. 888-463-1917 or www.american-legend.com

There is also another company, The USA Trailer store that sells a cheaper knock off of the Aluma MCT trailer that I see a lot of on the road. They even used a play on the ALUMA name and call it the Lumina. It is about $500 cheaper than the ALUMA MCT. http://theusatrailerstore.com/

I've used cargo trailers behind my bikes before. Plusses and minuses to their use.

Trailers reflect your exhaust noise back at you, making for a loud ride.

You will find yourself vastly over packing with a trailer. This means ever more weight, so the bike works harder to pull everything you've packed. The harder the bike works, the worse the gas mileage and the louder the droning noise.

If you thought backing up was hard two up, wait until you try it with a trailer back there.

The hitch mount on your bike will greatly dictate how stable the trailer is. Don't cheap out on a lightweight hitch for your bike.

Larger trailer wheels roll over stuff a whole lot easier than little wheels.

Don't buy or build a trailer heavier than you need. Converted Harbor Freight trailers are a great example of this mistake. They are heavy and pull hard compared to a light weight dedicated motorcycle trailer.

Skinny trailers snake through things a lot easier than wide ones.

Are you the camping type? If so, take a look at some of the motorcycle pop-up type camper trailers. Not cheap! Not light! But if camping or RVing is your thing, they might be just the ticket.
