Any of you guys use a trailer like this? If so how do you like?

 

have to be careful that u dont sling mud on it or rocks.....it will hit the bike trust me!!!!!!

 

I have one for my dirt bike and I love it. Way easier than a trailer. Can still do 65........legally.

 

I bet an ordinary trailer is cheaper that thing looks like it'd be a pain

 

Yeah, don't go 4 wheeling w/ your $10,000 bike on board. I would imagine you were asking about the street, though.

 

Trailers not cheaper, and trailer is a bigger pain.

 

Personally, I'll never use a trailer for my bikes again, hitch carriers are sweet.

 

if you have access to some 2 inch square stock you can make one pretty simple.

this is what you would need:

5 feet of 2" square stock

10 feet of 6" wide u channel

a welder

bolt and nut (to hold ramp up on the carrier to load bike)

directions:

cut the square stock down to 3 feet to go into the receiver on vehicle. cut the remaining 2 foot piece of square stock into 2 1 foot pieces to support the 3 foot piece. cut the u channel down to 6.5 feet. use the remaining 3.5 feet of u channel as a ramp to get your bike onto the carrier. drill a hole in the ramp and carrier for bolt and nut to hold it in place. spray paint any color you desire. then, be the envy of the guy who just spent $300.00+ for his! LOL this isn't exact directions but you get the point. you would also have to mount tie down holders on it too.

and it would cost under $50.00 if you can weld it yourself or you know someone who can.

i hope this helps.

 

Well well it's stuntbike so who cares about rocks and I have mud flaps.. No i'm not going 4wheeling.. And a regular trailer is hard if you don't have a house. I'll be in an apt most likely.. This would be easier than selling my SUV for a Truck.

 

Damn thanks I really appreciate that ...Hey Mike can I use your welder next year?? LOL

 

Yeah I took welding in HS so I still remember sum.. Or I can go buy that Arc welder from Homedepot.

 

someone makes one that has a jack on it. it's more expensive, but easier to load a streetbike!

 

Yeah cause it doesn't come with a ramp...I'll use the ramp..isn't that hard to run your bike up on it.

 

ive got one for my dirt bike and its pretty sick, fits on the side of the garage perfectly. takes up proly 2'x6'. when its on the hitch it has some play, the bike kinda sways left to right, i guess thats a good thing? ive never thought of putting my streetbike on it though. harbor freight has a 8x4 folding trailer for less than $300 i think.

 

no one can see ur turn singnals and light when u put your bike on

 

You put lights on the back

 

Is anybody running one on a car? or are they pretty much truck only?

 

^^^ i'm sure you can probably just need stronger rear springs and shocks...

 

Get an Arc welder its worth it!!

Make sure you buy a bunch of 7018 sticks for the thicker metal and high strength!

If you need help on working it let me know its so easy to use its stupid. If you know how to spell your name with a pencil wearing sunglasses you can stick weld

 

blacklincoln uses one on his navigator.. i think he was sayin that its not bad at all..
