Rickster Posted October 10, 2011 #1 Posted October 10, 2011 Looking for some imput on a trailer to tow behind the RSV, not sure it I will make one or buy a factory setup. Can anyone give me some factory names to check out. Thanks
Freebird Posted October 10, 2011 #2 Posted October 10, 2011 It really boils down to how much money you want to spend. Inexpensive but good reports: Piggybacker A little more but good reports: Aluma Trailer High priced but very good: Bushtec Hannigan Escalade I'm sure that others will add more.
BuckShot Posted October 10, 2011 #3 Posted October 10, 2011 Take a look at Timeouttrailers.org they sell campers and several cargo trailers and have been in bussiness for years.
rickardracing Posted October 11, 2011 #4 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I have a Dart. It's the one in my avatar. Depends on how much you want to spend and if you want it to add to the looks of the bike or take away from the looks. I believe that if you spend all tis money on chrome and fancy doo dads for your bike, then you should spend some money and get a nice looking trailer that is actually built to be pulled by a motorcyle.

BradT Posted October 11, 2011 #5 Posted October 11, 2011 I have a Dart. . Very nice and I saw Jaybird stripping it, both look very nice. Piggy backer works for me and in the right price range. Brad
Digger Posted October 11, 2011 #6 Posted October 11, 2011 I bought a used Escapade and love it. It has air shocks and tons of room, barely know it's back there. Here is a link to see what the company says about them, a little pricey new but used can be found: http://www.californiasidecar.com/trailers_elite.html
MidnightSpook Posted October 11, 2011 #7 Posted October 11, 2011 I bought a used piggybacker and love it. They don't pack the hubs well from the factory so if you go used you may want to check the bearings.
Guest Posted October 11, 2011 #8 Posted October 11, 2011 http://forums.delphiforums.com/MCTrailertowing/start Check out this forum. You should find out everything you may need there. At the bottom of the start page are links to many trailer mfg's.

Mel Posted October 11, 2011 #10 Posted October 11, 2011 If budget is any concern, don't pass over the Harbor Freight Tagalong. For around $400.00 (less with sale and coupon) it's an option. Lots of varying opinions on this one, but mine works just fine, is very aerodynamic, pulls like it's not there. Maybe not as slick looking as some, but not bad either. Check my avatar and/or profile for pics.
Monty Posted October 11, 2011 #11 Posted October 11, 2011 We had an Escapade, and it was a great trailer. Only sold it because we bought a camper trailer.
Motorcycle Mike Posted October 11, 2011 #12 Posted October 11, 2011 I'm real happy with my Aluma. No regrets at all. http://www.alumaklm.com/motorcycle-trailers/item/50-mct-towable-motorcycle-trailer.html Heres a list of builders. http://aerobourne.com/motorcycletrailerindex9.htm http://venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=517&pictureid=4475
thecount Posted October 11, 2011 #13 Posted October 11, 2011 Just go this beauty home on the weekend. Fiberglass enclosed, 12" chrome rims, Aluminum frame structure. Very easy to pull. Steve
XV1100SE Posted October 11, 2011 #14 Posted October 11, 2011 If budget is any concern, don't pass over the Harbor Freight Tagalong. Don't think they sell the Tagalong any more.
BradT Posted October 12, 2011 #15 Posted October 12, 2011 Steve Very Nice. That style always looks like it would tow well. Brad

dynodon Posted October 12, 2011 #17 Posted October 12, 2011 I have a Bushtec that came with the Wing I bought a couple years ago. Love the Bushtec trailer, expensive but they hold their value well, and nothing trails behind the bike better. This particular trailer is the one (Roadstar) that is made for a Harley, but the previous owner of my bike for some reason wanted that instead of the one that matches the Wing. I like it anyway!
