Yamaha 1300 Tourer - Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

Hi everyone,

I have a XVS1300AX 2008 with a Classic Industries towbar, It didn't fit with factory saddlebags so I had to modify it to fit and am happily towing now. I have been towing since I built my first trailer in about 1993.

I have two well three trailers at the moment. My old trailer is being borrowed by a mate to help convert him to towing.

My main trailer is a single berth Butsy's Campa from Mildura Vic, it also has a 6' fully enclosed annex. I have had it for 5 years now and haven't had any real problems but have added lots of things to it, Battery, LED internal lighting, Esky etc. It is make from steel with 8" wheels, leaf suspension with Yamaha scooter shocks.

I also have a Shadow Utility Trailer and my old Aluminium trailer I built back in 1993. My old trailer has been every where.

Shadow is Fiberglass with 8" wheels & coil over independent suspension.
Old one is aluminium with 12" Wheels and Polyurathane linked suspension.
