I found mine in a back yard when helping a friend buy a basket case bike... gave the guy 200 for it and had to rewire it, get a new seal for the lid, put new tires on it, put new carpet inside and repack the bearings... the name is "The Pod" which is out of business... I've put about 35K on it... I only lose about 10 to 15 miles to the tank when pulling it with about 300 lbs inside. When I paint my bike I'll paint the trailer as well and do a little modification to it... I'm not too fond of how the lid seals and need to change a few things about it....

I use a Hitch Doc & pull a Kompact Kamp cargo trailer. Look for a trailer with independent suspension, you'll thank yourself later. Most pull like they're not even there. I have pulled a pop-up camper trailer before and believe me, you KNOW it's there! ( but it was also like having a your own motel room at the end of the day!)
I can easily go a week on the road in mine, and usually leave it hooked even when I'm in town. (great for shopping & running errands)

Registered as a home built. Tracks great. 210# empty 24 cuft. No breaks I run it with about 30#'s tongue weight. Hitch is Kuryakin.

Have to repaint soon to match the new bike.

Aluma is a great trailer for the money - I sold it after a long trip last summer. The main reason I pulled it for thousands of miles was so I could have have my camping gear. As it turned out other than Sturgis I stayed in hotels. As I get older I require a hotel after ridding all day (preferably one with a Jacuzzi and cable).

This one has got to be a pretty good load. There's no way I would pull this trailer.

I built my own from a Harbor Freight kit and a Voyager XL cargo box from Pep Boys.

I have a Bushtec Roadstar, no picture of mine because it's being painted to match the bike this week. Here's a factory picture.


I've had a few trailers, 1st was a Timeout Dart, pulled great, no issues. A fellow rider wanted to use it, I let him and he made me sell it to him
I bought a Bushtec Quantum GL to match the trike, but sold it with the GW trike. I bought a Bushtec Roadstar for the Roady...I do like Bushtec trailers. They pull great and have no bounce, smooth as glass going down the road. I also had a Starlite for a short while and gave it to my son. It's a good little trailer for the money. The Starlite has torsion suspension which is a good setup. I don't care for the leaf spring set up, but a lot of riders used it and have no problems or issues....

Trailers are a lot like motorcycles....how fast ya want to do, how much you want to spend. You can get a small Starlite for around $1000.00 and go up to one of the Bushtec's for $6000.00 with all options...your choice.

Here's a MC trailer index web site...look til ya find the one you like..
