I simply love the simple spoiler on the back , BUT , what is it there for ? The back wheels aren't use for propulsion . It just create downforce , slowing , putting a biger strain , and increasing the fuel consumtion , without a role , in my mind .

@motanelustelistu it may help the trailer slip stream in the shadow of the Wing, mostly I think it just looks good. Makes a good handle when opening the trailer lid too.

@Mikes1800 Slip stream in the shadow of the wing . Srry , im no American , i don't understand some of the expressions , will you pls explain ?:D A handle can be mounted on smaler and in another manner , so it won't affect the air flow .I like the looks too , BUT as handle , or just for looks i won't want to have it , cuz it causing useless drag . But what do i know , this is just me .

@motanelustelistu Ever seen a NASCAR race? Short story is 2 cars paired up inline nose to tail can go faster than a single car can. The rear car smooths the airflow off of the front car reducing drag which benefits both cars. Bottom line it looks good and pulling this trailer with the wing and trailer fully loaded for camping gives me the same or slightly better gas mileage than I usually get :) Most of my Goldwing riding videos are shot while pulling this trailer. Watch White Bird Trailer View!

Nice ride , nice trailer . This is a part of America I love :D But isn't it funny how most of trailers are made for the allready heavy enough and allready with preety large storage space . I mean , that trailer look like 2 m long at high enough for me to easly sleep in :P Think it would be preety good for that , with some small inside storage spaces .

@motanelustelistu there is no way I can take everything I pack for camping comfortably on the Wing alone. Watch my video Goldwing Camping, it shows my camp. Between the storage capacity of the bike and trailer I can be self sufficient for a week or better on the bike camping the whole way :D I have had the thought that in a pinch I could sleep in it, but I prefer my cot and tent.

@Mikes1800 awww no help they dont make one for the KLR it was a nice try though!! I will keep looking.

@pougatchoff I'm glad you added the LOL, as I would never figure a dedicated Goldwing owner to swap his ride for anything! Except another Goldwing? Hell of a compliment nonetheless! Thanks!

@Flatbed58 thank you!

@navythomas8 thanks, I'll see what I can do. In the meantime I can tell you that both the Valkyrie and Goldwing are equipped with the HitchDoc motorcycle vertical receiver hitch. You can find info regarding them at hitchdoc(dot)com.
