I'am thinking of buying a trailer to pull behind my tri glide. Has anybody delt with USA trailers,and how do thay come, do you have to put them together. What are you pulling behind yours, any suggestions ?
 
I've not heard anything bad about USA trailers but,

I'm a big fan of Aluma trailers. The MCT and MCTXL trailers look a lot like USA trailers.

I've been pulling a MCT for 12 years and I don't know how many thousands of miles.

It tracks perfectly, so good that when I replaced the tires it was because of age not because of wear.

They are light weight and bullet proof. If I ever wear this one out, which I doubt, I'll buy another Aluma.

You can spend more and get fancier, better looking trailers but you won't find a better trailer.

No, I do not work for Aluma. I'm just a very satisfied customer.

I had one several years ago. It came with the axles and tongue not attached. Was no big deal to put it together. We towed it behind my wifes Stallion about 20k miles and never had an issue. The only reason we got rid of it was my wife wanted a more stylish trailer to tow behind, so we went to an ESCAPADE. The Usa trailer loaded nice and was pretty much water tight but the wife covered everything anyway. I would buy one again.
 
I have owned 3 different trailers and pulled them thousands of miles behind several different motorcycles over the past 35 years or so. I have never owned a USA trailer. I will second the Escapade as I have had 2 of them. Air ride, lots of cargo room, pulls like a dream. Very nice looking also. I pull one with my Triglide now. The Escapades are very water tight.

I just ordered one and hope it will be here next week. Should take about an hour to put together.

Know a few folks that have them and not a single complaint have I heard.
 
I would also look at cyclemate trailers, I have had one since 1999, I have the 2000 model, there is a 1000 that is smaller. It pulls great and I don't even know it is there. I know there are quite a few pull trailers out there with some high prices and some low, do the research, like I said I'm happy with my cyclemate, me and a friend bought 2 of them from a harley dealer when harley was selling trailers, some were and some not, mine was and we both got a great deal on the 2000 model since we was both buying.

All for now Trampas

We've had two of them - The large and medium. Both traveled very well / water tight and very solid. I sold the Large because my wife will pack not for what we need / but by how much room we had. And...I feel the shorter rig is much easier to pack. Much easier to get the weight off the tongue.....and not have to pack 6 pairs of shoes! jc

Will certainly consider this meetup. preparing for a ride to North Dakota at the moment, but, will put this on the calendar for sure.

Thanks
