I really like my 2013 Thunderbird and the Triumph leather bags that were on it when I bought the bike new, but between their limited capacity and that they don't lock, its not ideal for two up touring. In fact, just my daily gear like two rainsuits, some tools, a first aid kit, etc, pretty much fill up the two bags. I bought some additional luggage from Dowco for attaching to the luggage rack, but I think for comfortable touring I might consider getting a small trailer for the T-bird to pull. Any recommendations? About the only one I have seen so far is from Bushtec, and the cost is really high so I am hoping to hear about some other options.

I like the single wheel concept. I need to research if something equivalent is available in the U.S. Also, it is a bit pricey.
