 Ours is an 87 GL. We will be going to get our 65
 Notchback and wondered if it was ok to tow behind.

 his 88 GL.

Kathy,

That will depend on many variables such as type of hitch, condition of
vehicle, how FAST you want to get there, how far you have to go, etc... I
have personally towed a 69 Westy full of furniture with my 65 Notchback
equipped with nothing but the factory hitch and a 1600 single port with dual
Solex carbs. Circa 1982.
