RT trailer tongue storage box

[Tom N]

Has anyone ever seen or thought about mounting a small lockable storage box to the tongue of the RT trailer. You see these commonly on jet ski trailers. This could store oil, rags, a small gasoline container and an few tools and keep all the messy stuff seperate from the trailer. The reason I ask is the concern of only getting 150 miles between fillups. My biggest fear would be running out of gas in some remote area. I know the negative would be the potential fuel hazard in case of an accident. I was hoping for some good advice from people who have done some touring on a Spyder. Thanks, Tom N

Tom, I have thought about an ice chest, which is pretty common on other trailers pulled behind motorcycles. I've owned 3 different trailers to pull behind my Goldwings & have alway had Ice Chests on the tongues.

I have a trailer ordered for my RT & will be looking at the possibility of doing that again.
