Sometimes I pull a trailer when I travel. I use it to go camping and fishing. Do any of you folks? I just pulled mine from southern Kalifornia the northern Washington. Took lots of gear.

I have a trailer that I pull behind my Vaquero on long trips. Can't even tell that it's there.

Re: I pull a trailer for travel and camping
Like Dave I have one that I pull on long trips just not a camper. I have used it on several rallys and the 1700's just pull it like there is no tomorrow. I got the Ivan remap done on my ECU and it did even better going up to visit Dave at the rally this year.Patrick "Hotwheels" Sharon

Re: I pull a trailer for travel and camping
Welcome from Kansas City. I also have the HF tag along. Pull it with my 09 nomad. Been from KC to Dallas to Pennsylvania and many shorter trips. There are 4 other members of the KC chapter pull trailers.

Re: I pull a trailer for travel and camping
I don't have a trailer, but have been giving it some thought. I'll probably get a harbor freight tag along at some point. But then again, I might not.Always Believe,

Not Any More
I used to pull a big trailer until I had a bad accident with it.
You boys will find out that in a panic situation you will not be able to make the bike turn or stop quickly enough to avoid an accident.
Odds are,I suppose that you won't have an accident though.
Most folks just take their chances thinking that "it won't happen to me".
On the maintenance side the added weight and wind resistance will wear out brakes,clutch,bearings,shocks, and other components like swingarm & front end bearings. Your gas mileage will go down especially on hilly stretches and if you go 80mph on the slab.
I know that's a buzz kill. Sorry.
It's the american way to bring all the comforts of home with you.
Americans are not concerned with what they need,only with what they want.
They had to create the Gold Wing and the Ultra Harleys for Americans.
We ALWAYS want the biggest and the best.

Re: I pull a trailer for travel and camping
I also pull a HF Tag-a-long. For anyone getting one of these HF trailers I recommend repacking the wheel bearings with a quality grease and replacing the taillights with LED ones. Also get a spare tire' I have towed mine from NY to Arkansas and back and from NY to Wisconsin and back with no issues. I ran the interstates at 75+ mph and the tires and hubs barely got warm.Albie Salsburg (1700 Rider)

Re: I pull a trailer for travel and camping
O'l Trigger 2010 Voyager and I pull a cargo mate trailer and loaded. I mean LOADED. No problems at all don't even know its there except when slowing down or stopping. You will notice longer braking. I have also pulled with two up. The wife and ALL her stuff in the trailer, half the house....lol I'm not a small man either. You will not have any problems unless its a 24' full size camper and then you may not be able to use 6th gear.....lolYou only live once, so live life like a kid always
