Bought one of these to pull behind my Goldwing M/C and I think I'll use it with the rail buggy also. We go to the Arkansas mtns quite often and need to carry the wifes usual ton of stuff with us when we go. :lol: They are $585 plus $50 shipping.

Very neat. I've been looking for one of those to pull behind my buggy as well. Great for camping gear.

Looks like a samsonite suitcase on wheels.

Harbor Freight trailer for $179 and a Sears cargo carrier. Personally I would not run 8 inch tires/wheels. They turn too fast on freeway and those bearings and spindles burn up. Most of the broken down trailers sitting on the side of the freeway have SMALL TIRES! You can buy a trailer at HF with 12 inch tires and have better freeway life. Taller tires run cooler also and don't blow easily compared to the small ones.

Thats because they have been to lazy to grease the brgs since they were new. I've pulled mine all over the U.S. loaded down behind my Goldwing and have never had a lick of trouble. And I usually travel 70-85 mph unless its out in the open and we'll do 100 most of the time then. But I always ck the brgs and grease'em before any long trip.

Theres lots of us on the Goldwing forums that have well over 100k miles on these little trailers (with 8" wheels) with no problems at all.

I know it makes a difference if you pack the bearings, but they are still turning high RPMs. I know lots of people that burn bearings and blow tires with them. I think they are better suited to town use (low speeds).
