Ralph, just bought the system and it works very well. Call the owner, he gives 10% off to spyderlovers members. It seems expensive, but if you price a system like "Black + Gray" and add all the tie downs and it's quick release system, it isn't that much cheaper and the Superclamp system has taller sides to keep the Spyder from moving from side to side. You also don't have to run any straps thru your wheels and take a chance of wrecking the paint or chrome job. If you decide to buy the system, once you receive it you'll understand why it costs a little more. It's built very stout

Thanks Gerry just what I wanting to hear!!! Gerry do mind posting some pictures? The floor on your trailer, is it wood or metal?

I have the SuperClamp installed on my enclosed trailer. I love this system just drive up on ramps and 2 tiedowns. I have used them about 6 times so far and no movement of the spyder. They are pricey but they are worth the investment to me.

Thanks rifiki2cu. If the system works, then it's worth spending a little extra.

I'm a little confused here, are we not able to give a truthful opinion on this forum?

Hi Ralph,

I purchased the Spyder SuperClamp and I'm happy with the product. The quality is solid and they work as advertised. It comes with everything required (including straps). I mounted them on an aluminum trailer. The instructions are clear and straight forward. I've uploaded a couple of basic photos of the setup. I do not have a photo with the Spyder on the trailer, but will post one for you when I take the trailer out from storage.

There are several alternatives that also work and cost less; however, I liked the product.

Good luck with your decision.

Regards,
Stanley

This has me rather concerned, I come here for good accurate feedback on a product and only the apparent positive feedback gets posted. Please explain this. Because if the rules are no negative feedback unless Lamont thinks you should I will be happy to leave this site...

Please don't read a lot into Randy's choice to not post it in the open forum...
Quite simply; he certainly could have, and his opinion would have been welcomed.
He just chose not to...

I normally don't log on but this one got my goat. I have them and have installed in two different toy haulers. Great product! I've done
both, Strap tie downs and have to stop every now and then to tighten bike down. With these Superclamps bike is always right where
I put it and straps remain tight. If there's a negative comment you should put it out there. We'd like to hear about it. Oh well, logging back off now.

THANK YOUfor your honest open OPINION

Personally, I never have found regular ole' ratchet straps to be all that difficult to use, are inexpensive, and quite reliable.

RE: Can-Am Spyder - Trailering - Tie Down System

I will post this YouTube Video Link for the Can-Am Spyder Tie Down System link from http://www.SuperClamp.net 403-203-2210 on Can-Am Spyder Forums.



I am buying a custom-built enclosed trailer from Cross Trailers in Elkhart to pull my Can-Am RT behind my Class B Motorhome. .

If you are in Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin checkout our Three-Wheeler facebook page - http://www.fb.com/3wlmc - 3-Wheelers of Lake and McHenry County.

Awfully expensive at almost $600. If it gets down to below $300, I would strongly consider it. Hope to hear comments from others who have used it in an enclosed trailer.

BTW - If you are shopping for an enclosed cargo trailer to haul your Can-Am Spyder, be sure to look at units over 7 feet wide - as the 6 foot trailer standard openings make it nearly impossible to load and unload. God forbid the bike slides while trailering, it would be virtually impossible to line it up to exit the trailer if there is less that 4 inches side clearance with the ramp door opening.

Height is also an issue. I see some 81" - "83" overall height trailers advertised as being "Garageable" (standard garage doors are 7 foot = 84" tall) tall, but the interior height has to be at least 66" (six inches lower than industry-standard)- with a ramp door frame opening height AT A VERY MINIMUM at least 64" from the floor - to allow a rider to drive the Can-Am up onto the trailer with the windshield in the full upright position.

Hope this helps!
