  I just wanted to say that right now I ride Honda Goldwing and get most people to wave except many sportbike riders. But I also ride a little 50cc scooter and NO ONE waves when I ride it. I'm always thinking but I ride a Goldwing too. I'll bet you'd wave to me if I was riding it! I stopped waving when I ride the scooter because i got tired of waving to myself.

  To me that sounds a bit long to be pulling behind a motorcycle to me. I would think it could cause lots of sway.
  
  The longest trailers made for motorcycles (that I have seen) are the pop up campers and even with tongue they are only 110 to 115 inches.

  
  Thanks for the input, Lucky. I hadn't thought about sway. I have no experience pulling trailers with a motorcycle so thought I would put the question out there. Sounds like it would be a bad idea. I thought it would be kind of fun to show up at a lake or beach on a motorcycle with my kayak. Nice ride there, nice paddle around, and nice ride home. Just a fantacy.

  Does anyone have experience or knowledge about trailer length? I am thinking about making/modifying a small trailer to put my kayak on and tow behind my Goldwing. The kayak is about 13ft long and weighs about 75lbs. Weight wise, it looks like it would be fine to tow, but I was concerned about the length. Harbor Freight sells a boat trailer that would work. Any thoughts?
