Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but rather give my money to my locals and shipping/pickup is a whole lot easier! 

I'm looking for a pull behind trailer and hitch for my 97 Tourer.  I'm not picky about brand or type, but we're on a budget.  Let me know if you got something your looking to get rid of.  Thanks.

Thag:

Check out this option:

http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,4320.0.html

Some build their own:

I'd also post your query on the General Board and put a 'Wanted' ad on the Classifieds.

Thag,

I have a very good welder and have been thinking about building something similar to the harbor freight cargo cap of trailer. I think it can be done for under $500 and look very good.

  Hey Thag , do what I did ... I built my own from Harbor Freight trailer kit , it bolts together and I made sure all corners are square , I welded the corners ,extended the tongue , I ground down the welds and repainted the whole trailer black .... then I put some 5/8 decking and painting both sides with paint you spray as a bed liner ... I had found a Sears 20 cu.ft. car carrier already for $50 , matter of fact I bought two more  Sears Car Carriers since for $ 50 each so I can build some more trailers ........ and for Bling -Bling this is a big option I added some alum. diamond plate to put on top of the deck and added the diamond plate fenders also .....I just just bolted everything down because the car carriers have bolt holes already ....... and for more Bling-Bling I ordered some 12" tires with Chrome rims to match the diamond alum. plate   Cool ....... she works fine and you can say you built it .... or you can look at Craigs List and theres alot of trailers on there , sometimes high dollar but that would be your call ... IT AIN'T HARD Thag  coolsmiley  Harbor Freight usually have these trailer kits on sale if you look for them and sign up for their monthly specials via email Wink see ya on the road ... Thanks The Geez  crazy2

No need to build one. They offer the Tag-a-long now.  I bought one on sale last year for $340 and love it.
