Hi,
I was considering buying a trailer for carrying some extra camp equipment when the wife comes along on our trips. There are a couple of trailer manufactures in Australia such as Classic Industries and Perforance trailers (Aero fx). The options to have brakes increases the price considerably. As the these trailers weigh approx 80kg, and I would like to carry approx 50kg of tent and camping equipment, my question is, should I pay up for the extra safety of trailer brakes. For a goldwing this weight may not be a problem, but I'm not sure how 130kg will affect the St-1300 in a hard braking situation. Any advice would be welcome from experienced trailer pullers.
Regards Wazza
