Guys, I just completed a 4-day Smokey Mountains camping trip on the ST1300 with 3 other friends. I was space challenged and had used every square inch of room in the two saddle bags, Honda topbox, and still had to use a large drybag on the passenger seat for the tent, sleeping pad, and bag.
I want a UNI-GO trailer. I have read and researched dozens of sights for pull-behind trailers and the UNI-GO just makes sense to me. First, it's plenty spacious and could have easily held everything I had in the bags. According to the site, 40 lbs on the seat or in the top case would be harder to stand-up that 80 lbs in the UNI-GO - this made sense since the center of gravity is virtually at or below the axle. You would load your heavy stuff in the bottom - just inches off the ground and your bulky items mid-way up. You fill your trailer first and it's possible you won't even need to fill the bags.
Do you have any experience pulling a trailer? Have you pulled both and do you agree the UNI is easy to use and control?
Lastly, the Goldwing that was on the same trip had a UNI-GO and carried the gear for he and his wife - they had chairs, extra clothes, and many items that I had to leave at home - all in the one trailer. Between his wife's Pacific Coast and his Goldwing - the only things they had in the saddlebags and top boxes was the cameras. He has towed his over 52,000 miles and just loves it when they are going 2-up or camping is on the schedule. He has never pulled a 2-wheeled model and we've theorized that a flat, pothole, or increased collision potential (from width alone) makes these non-practical.
Opinions/experiences, please.
Thanks,
Gordon
