Hi
Have a towbar fitted to my GTR1400, ordered one from Australia bit more expensive but lovely bit of kit not chunky and can be removed by 4 bolts.
I tow a Squires trailer, the smaller of them and have to say tows like a dream, in fact you don't know it's there and because of panniers cannot see it in mirrors so occasionally have to twist round to see if still attached.

Is there not a speed limitation with trailer though?
