The big disadvantage is that you won't be ryding the Spyder!!!!!
White 2013 Spyder RT Limited. BajaRon Swaybar, Custom Dynamic Third Brake Light. Ultimate Custom Black and White seat with driver and passenger back rest. Gloryder Led Wheel lights.Custom Dynamics Led Bright sides, Amber and Red Fender lights, and Saddle Bag Bright sides.
2016 F3 Limited Intense Red Pearl. Lidlox, BRP Driver Back Rest, BRP Passenger Back Rest,Fog Lights, GPS, Signature Light! Custom Dynamics LED Bright Sides, Amber and Red Fender lights, and Saddle Bag Bright Sides.
For a few hundred dollars more I'd buy a DropTail! IMHO
I do like the drop tail but it is about 800-1200 more depending on options. I also need to try and keep weight down as possible, because there was no plans to get a bigger vehicle to pull....Stinger was 495 lbs , drop tail was 644 pounds. Of course if money wasn't a factor, I would love the Ultimate trailer.

Seems a little pricey to me for what it is. Also, I'd be concerned about how solid the hinging aspect of it is. If there's no torsion or spring suspension on it I'd be leery.

I've been considering a Stinger trailer ($2599 delivered) for some time now because if I do buy a trailer I pretty much have to have a folding trailer which will store upright. I live in a gated deed restricted community where no RV or trailer storage of any kind is permitted . . pretty much eliminates anything that won't fit in my garage (along with two cars and the Spyder). Previous posts are correct in that the Stinger does not have any suspension, just a rigid axle (see pic). That, coupled with the fact that it takes two grown men to unfold the trailer due to it's weight has been a deal breaker for me . . so far. On the positive side, they are now powder-coated.
As for the "no suspension", Stinger says "the pneumatic characteristics of the 13" radial tires and the suspension of the Spyder itself provide for a safe smooth ride". Yea right !
Surely there's someone on this forum whose owned one of these trailers. I'd like to know how they tow and whether the "no suspension" aspect is a hinderance or does it even matter. I know that Aluma used to make a folding trike-trailer but it's not available anymore and I can't find any other folding trailers suitable for a Spyder (if you know of any, let me know). I should add that Kendon also makes a folding upright trailer for the Spyder but at $4199 it's cost prohibitive. As always, any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
