Yup, it is legal. However, check your ins coverage. If a trailer breaks away it may not be covered. Mine stayed on. Coverage is less than $100.00. I pull a bunkhouse with MY F6B.
Good Luck....

Being an MSF Ridercoach, I'm pretty familiar with the California Vehicle Code when it comes to motorcycles. I don't ever recall seeing anything wrong with pulling a trailer with a motorcycle..
The only laws I've seen have to do with chains, attachment, and lights.

Yeah, the 55 mph restriction is still there.
Must stay in the right hand lane unless a 4-lane highway, then the right two lanes.
No carpool lane.

I ride with a group (Star Touring and Riding) and on average we do 5 long overnight rides a year - on each of these rides there are at least 7-9 trailers begin towed by Goldwings and Harleys. We have traveled pretty much the length of California and many of our members have towed trailers across the United States without any issues. We ride in the carpool lane on occasion as well. Just understand that crap expands to the space allowed and you will be surprised how much stuff you will find yourself taking along - and bringing back. The only incident I have heard of is a trailer breaking down because the owner put two cases of wine in it and the axle couldn't handle it. Its all good though as they were able to get it repaired (they had ridden to eastern canada lol) where they were at.
Don't get caught in that carpool lane, it's a $427 dollar ticket. The signs clearly say no towing.
