Towing Weight of Trailers

[robinsondd]

Hi all,

I have a 2015 HD Road Glide 103 with a Road Smith conversion and currently pull a camper trailer that is about 500 lbs. without trailer brakes. I'm thinking about pulling a trailer that weighs about 1000 lbs. and has brakes. It's a Papa Bear trailer from Rustic Trail Campers.

Anyone out there pulling this kind of weight behind their Harley's?

Tks...

I'm with Fuzzy, that sounds like a safety issue waiting to happen.

Out side of the tail wagging the dog feeling every time you try to stop, Starting off from a stop you will probably be frying your clutch.....Any reason you have to haul that much weight ....:Shrug:...

Thanks all.

I get it. It looks like I'm getting too greedy. I would like to tow a "stand-up" tear drop style trailer.

Maybe it's time to get a toy hauler for the trike instead!

Thanks,

I noticed the new Gold Wing conversion. Nice! I just may have to give my 44 year son my Harley Conversion and go with the new Gold Wing conversion, i.e., more power.

I honestly don't think that you'll be even a bit disappointed going Goldwing, in fact I have a feeling that you will be saying "too yourself" Why didn't I go this route many years ago??
