Has anyone hauled the Ryker on a utility trailer? Was there any problem making the break over at the top of the ramp? I noticed that Tractor Supply has a 6 x 8 utility trailer with a 4' ramp that looks like it might work.

If this is the one with the vertical attached ramp …. my experience was not too good …. BOTH of the securing devices fell apart on the same trip …. I fixed it with a solid 8 or 10 inch bolt using a lock-nut ….. The replacement parts from tractor supple was $30.00 EACH .….. good luck …. Mike :ohyea:Quote:

I used this trailer I built to haul my wife's Spyder, and my Ryker to the Keys.
I've hauled ours on our 7x14 open trailer. The ramp is 5ft long I think. I load and unload with the trailer hooked to the truck, and the tongue jack cranked way up to reduce the angle of the ramp. I had no issues at all. Anything you can do to reduce that angle is key. Use the tongue jack, park the trailer wheels in a low spot, park up against an embankment, boards under the back end of the ramp....etc....
@Dragracer, what’s the dimensions of your trailer. I’m looking for a trailer to haul my Spyder and my husband’s Ryker. The Ryker doesn’t have a windshield so it can go backwards. My Spyder has saddle bags (F3-T).
it will work fine. The 6’ is actually about 6’6”. I have the 3 pieces luggage set on Slingmods, So I made an extension of the rear tailgate latches of a few inches and it works fine.
I prefer an adjustable hitch on the tow vehicle. I raise the tongue as high as possible to smooth out the angle at the top of the ramp. I also found piece of 2x4 at the bottom of the ramp kept the noise from dragging. Don’t forget if the front wheels get too close to the front of the trailer the spoiler will hit the front of the trailer.
