Trailers

Hello, I'm thinking about getting a trailer to tow behind the bike on long trips (heading to other coast this summer), I know HD says no, but that's only because they don't make one... I don't have an HD warranty anyway, I've got another company, except for where I purchased the bike I've had to pay them and then get reimbursed. They sold me that warranty because I was going to change things over night.

Anyone have any experience towing with their bikes? How did it hold up, are there things you wish were better?

I never pulled a trailer but from what I understand talking to people that did that it is harder on the swingarm bushings.
Also I would think it would be best to upgrade the rear shocks to a heavy duty shock considering the added weight of riding 2 up pulling a loaded trailer is going to put on the bikes suspension.
Personally I would think that if you can get away without pulling a trailer then don't do it. JMO
