Towing a trailer with your fireblade?

Towing a trailer with your fireblade?
I've been brainstorming about some upcoming trips on my bike with a coworker and was thinking about carrying our gear. Has anyone had any experience towing a small (3x5) trailer with a sportbike? I know my 06 1000rr has plenty of power to tow a light trailer (<300 lbs loaded), especially since I'm a small guy, 5'5" & 130lbs. Before calling me insane, I'd like to hear any input from people who have tried it. Afterall, guys on their asthmatic Harley's pull trailers all the time right? I have not been able to find a commercially available hitch for my bike, but I do have access to lathes & mills at work and I do have an idea in my head for making my own utilizing 2 bearings tapered roller bearings supporting a center shaft with the hitch ball mounted to the center shaft, allowing the bike to lean in turns while the hitch is attached. I have not worked out the best way to mount the hitch to the bike yet, however.
