Just seeing what's out there if any of you have a small trailer to tote the bike around. Don't want a huge open car trailer or anything. Imp won't be able to handle it.

Thanks!

yeah, was looking at the harbor freight stuff since they have a sale going on for $250 for one of the 4x8's... I knew a couple people that have done that for their track bikes for roadracing. A buddy has an even narrower one that's just for a single motorcyle and thats kinda what i was looking at.

thanks for the headsup though!

Get the one from harbor freight and once you bolt it together we can square it up and I can weld it for you. We did the same thing for william and his has lasted a long time. Better than just bolting it together.

Thanks Brad...

what did he do for the flat/covering? Just plywood? I'm trying to think of what else would be better.

Would one like this work or is it too short? Add one of those front wheel braces and some tie downs and I would think you'd be set.

Plywood works great, or 2x6's or 2x8's :thumbsup Those trailers work good for how cheap they are, and they are always on sale.

yeah, it's normally $339 but on sale for $259

then i'd get one of those front mounts that lock the front wheel into place, and those are normally 80 but i have a 20% off coupon on that too.

Scott, that one is too short.

The 1150lb capacity one is on sale that's 48x96". I searched HD, Lowes, Blains, etc... and I think the HF is the best option. Just need the thick plywood to mount everything too

I have a 4x8 from Northern Tool I would probably be willing to part with. Has a diamond plate floor on it right now. 1 7/8" Ball, all lights working.
