C, you haven't had this long have you? Have you towed the 14 on it? I sent this to my son who's in FL for the week. He was looking at one time.

Nope, I haven't had it for long. I bought it last year. I spruced it up a bit though. That reminds me, I just serviced the wheel bearings, I should list that.

I didn't get a chance to tow Connie on it, my plans changed.

No one is interested in this nice lil trailer?

Easy to load, easy to pull, easy to store in the garage.



Maybe I'm asking too much $?

Price reduced. $650 firm.

Well, I would have bought it for the asking price if it came with it.  Now, not so much.   ;)

What if I threw in a extra shelf for your Canyon Cages in the garage? You know, as a back-up?

I have been thinking about a trailer.  Anyone with any experience towing a bike with this unit?  Does it bounce around a lot?  Did you do any towing with it or is it basically brand new?

     I don't have this particular trailer. I've got an Aluma with a 2000 lb. torsion axle and 13" tires like Conrad's and just got back from a 2000 mile round trip towing my C-10 on it. No bounce and towed well behind my '06 Dakota with a V-6.

I bought it used but never towed with it. It didn't bounce around much empty at least. I cleaned it up, did some maintenance , and had it stored in the garage. I also had an extra tie down bar made to get some tie downs down in front of the wheel.

I had intended to tow my bike behind my RV on the trailer but since I'm going to be towing in the winter months mostly I'm going to get an enclosed trailer instead. I don't want my bike turning into a salt block on the way down south.  :)

Have you loaded the Concours on it?  I'm trying to visualize how you would load it with that narrow ramp and heavy bike.

I would love to have a light trailer, but recently borrowed an enclosed 5x8 V-nose,  and the wide ramp sure does make loading a breeze.  Just ride it in.

I loaded Connie onto the trailer once, just to see how it would go. It wasn't bad with two people doing it. I'm only 5'5" so I wanted to make sure that I had someone to help, just in case... I've never towed the bike on the trailer though.

The guy I bought it from towed his HD to Sturgis a couple of times, so he said.
