Anyone with a gl1500 tow a trailer. I have been riding my bike to Barber for the last few years. But this year my girlfriend is learning to ride and wants to bring her Grom. I bought possibly I could tow it and one of my Harley’s behind my wing. But it dawned on me that I’ve never seen a hack with a trailer. Is that a thing?
also. Opinions on would it tow a vrod and a grom on a small trailer.
It’s a GL1500 with Hanigan sidecar
@swampy, to answer your two questions....Yes.....and Yes.
I have seen a Goldwing 1500 tow a sailboat.....that was SO large that the motorcycle towing it could not be seen from behind the sailboat.
If your bike's engine is running well, then tow the trailer directly behind the bike/sidecar combination. That means, centered on the road, in between the bike and the sidecar. Do NOT tow the trailer directly from the back of the bike.....as you will look like an Axolotl walking out of the water, to bask in the sun.
Be smart, be careful, and allow your lady friend to ride the Vrod.

I have towed a trailer behind my R1150GS rig quite a bit and occasionally, behind the Ural, and I would think that the Grom would be fine but the Vrod could be a bit much.
This was about 150 miles over the Colorado passes each direction in less than ideal conditions.

Awesome. Thanks to both of you. I will start looking for a hitch situation that will work for me. My Wong purrs like a kitten. I would t hesitate to make the ride my only hesitation was the trailer.
I will post pics and make a few short runs before October to test it out.
Cris is about 600 lbs. I’m honestly thinking maybe Versys instead. But I guess we will see. My hotel is very close to Barber so I could just buy another Grom before than. LOL.
Thanks again fellas.
