| I am making a trip to Texas and was wondering if anyone has used one of these before and if so is it necessary to remove the drive belt  |

I did not get an image of the product in question. Maybe others can help. |

| I certainly wouldn't tow it like that. The bearings inside the driven pulley would be spinning all the time.
They are only grease lubricated and normally only spin when the bike is stationary with the engine idling. I doubt they are intended for constant operation.
Just my thoughts I hasten to add. |

| Indeed there is that point to bear in mind Cookie, also over prolonged periods the rear tyre will wear badly in the middle |

| I think those exist only because manufacturers needed a way to keep people busy and use up left over steel. They are a really dumb idea for ANY kind of motorcycle. If you have a hitch just buy a used utility or boat trailer. |
