Does anyone use this sort of trailer for their Spyder? I think it would probably work except for the ground clearance of the Spyder and I wonder if there is any scraping when breaking over the bed and the ramp? This one is pretty generic and some shop around must be done prior to purchase.

Not wide enough, it has to be at least 6 ft wide. A 6x10 would be a better size. The 5 1/2 x 10 they show would leave you about 3 1/2 inches on each side of the front tires. As far as the ramp, a few well placed boards would do the trick.

Measure from the outside of the fenders and add a few inches for maneuvering and you will find that 5' is not wide enough.

11/2" clearance on each side and fabricate extensions for the ramp so it will latch approx 20 degrees back lean and fits just fine. I also installed a wood deck on it.
PM me for more info
F-3 will fit on a 5x8
I think the other models are wider and won't fit

If you look closely at the measurements - the 5 ft ( 60 inches ) is outside the frame, so it's really 57 in. inside ....no way Jose' ....... Like others said get a 6 X 10 minimum it can't be much more - try Home Depot - Lowe's ........jmho ......Mike :thumbup:
