Re: Who Owns a Bushtec Trailer?
I just picked up the 1991 [URL="http://www.bushtec.com/"][COLOR=#ff0000]BushTec [/COLOR][/URL]Turbo above...
Very nicely built trailer and for its age in remarkable condition...I modified it for my dog by doing similar to the Bushtec Tow Tow model..I haven't towed it much yet, but so far seems real good..Im abit curious tho about the proper air pressure in the shocks....I do have the manual for the adjustment specs, but am wondering what should I run in the trailer if I have the dog with me and then no dog or load{empty}..wondering if a happy meduium could be done so not constantly adding or removing air...Dog weighs about 75lbs...I have 40lbs in the shocks right now which gives me proper wheel alignment with her in the trailer...Any views and opinions appreciated..Thx..HB

A friend of mine has a trailor similar to yours. He pulls with [U]less air in the trailer[/U] so not too get so much bounce in it.:Coffee:

Hank, I have a <a href="http://www.bushtec.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#ff0000">Bushtec</font></a> Turbo 2 and I normally have between 38 and 45 pounds in the shocks loaded for a trip. I would think you are very close at 40 considering the weight of your pal. Just follow the Bushtec instructions and don't forget to "walk" the trailer by hand a few feet back and forth after a air adjustment to allow the tires/wheels to align themselves.<br />
<br />
Bushtec trailers never bounce. That's one of their great features.
Re: Who Owns a Bushtec Trailer?
I have a <a href="http://www.bushtec.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#ff0000">Bushtec Roadstar</font></a> that we purchased to do the West Coast trip. We left Omaha, went thru Sturgis, SD then up to I-90 across Montana and into Washington. I have a cousin in N.E. Washington that I had never met in person, (only on the Net). She lives about 15 miles from the Canadian Border. After staying a couple of nights up there, we headed for the coast then followed it down to San Diego to visit another cousin. Then to Vegas for the night. We left Vegas at noon across the Desert at 115°F!!! I swear that I saw a guy dressed in Red with horns and a Pitchfork along side the Road!!! It was miserable!!
I cranked my Bike to 100mph pulling that Roadstar and couldn't tell it was there!!! (I know this was stupid). We then spent the night in Kingman, AZ then across I-40 to Texas then straight North back to Omaha.<br />
<br />
It was a GREAT Trip and the trailer was FLAWLESS!!! It was all that everyone says it is. I had to adjust my mirrors so I could see it just to remind me it was back there!!! - I just can't say enough about it. It is worth every penny!!<br />

Bought the Bushtec Roadstar last year for the Harley 110th. Expecting the better half to bring more stuff home than we brought. Didn't know it was there. Had to tilt the mirrors to see it back there!. Empty and half loaded, couldn't tell it was there.

</div>Agree 100%. The most dangerous thing about pulling a BushTech trailer is forgetting it's back there. I've pulled mine behind my Uktra for 3 years and now, due to medical problems, behind a Tri-Glide. Nothing better on the road. <br />
<br />
I investigated/analyzed 6-7 different trailers, visited 2 manufacturing sites before settling on BushTec. In my opinion they are the best out there.
Now, before I go any further with this I'm going to qualify something. This was when John and Andy (the founders) owned the company, when customer service was FIRST. <a href="http://www.bushtec.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#ff0000">BushTec</font></a> still makes a great product but their NEW corporate umbrella separates them from the biker world. <br />

We have a 2006 Turbo 2 we bought new. Great trailer just had it repainted to match our trike. We have well over 50,000 miles on the trailer and the only problem has been the locking latch. Had to replace that several times. We only have my wives wheelchair in it 95% of the time and it is only about 40lbs.
