Anyone seen a trailer that can haul 2 Spyders?
I'm going to be in the market soon for a trailer that will haul either 2 spyders or 1 spyder and 1 motorcycle? Has anyone seen or know a company that makes one. It doesn't need to be enclosed.

They make a 5x14 ramp gate utility trailer with a single 3500lb axle that is made to haul 2 large 4wheelers that should do the trick.

Spyder is just short of 9ft long so I would probably need at least a 18ft trailer but probably go with 20 ft just to give a little extra room.

Jody has a 17 foot V-Nose enclosed that fits two Spyders back to back.

That is very good to know. What size vehicle do you need to pull a trailer like this with 2 Spyders on it?

A small truck should be just fine. Also I would choose a trailer that has a dove tail on it so you do not run the risk of high centering or scraping the bottom of the Spyder.... IMO

I have a Chevy Silverado 1500 that will have no problem towing it.

If this is for a set of RT's.... I was warned to not haul the RT backwards because the windshield was not strengthened for it. They said it will snap off the bike at speed.

What do you tie down on the spyder when securing it to a trailer in order to not damage it

I read somewhere you tie it down by the wheels

I usally strap over the rear swing arm,theres a place you can slide the strap threw just make sure you under the wires and the brake line, and on the front, the a arms down low close to the rim....if you have padded staps the wheels work but if not it will scrath them and leave a strap mark on your rims.......made that mistake 2 or 3 time, but there are several ways.

It makes since to me... I was towing a 1952 Willies behind a 1994 Cherokee a few years back... Came around the corner under an overpass.... Side wind hit us just right to remove the windshield glass on the Willies!!! Cry...
So I figure under normal circumstances nothing will happen. But those darn sudden windstorms or weird situations happen enough that I will not travel long distances with one strapped down backwards...
That had to suck..... but no worries. I agree its better that you don't. But if you have to, you have to, and I have had no issues......... but you might not want to cross the country like that. but the rear tuck does block most of the wind, I have even left pamlets between the windshield and dash and they even stayed. Good luck towing....would rather ride! but usally have to tow several......do a bunch of shows

The proper procedure is to tie it down through the wheels. There is tie-down procedure with pictures in your manual.

26 ft. trailer
I have 26 ft. 10,000 lb. enclosed car trailer that works great. Bought it just to haul the 2 spyders if we need to. Put extra tie downs in the floor to go around the wheels. Plenty of room. Towed with a 2005 Ram Diesel 4x4.welcome

Trailer to haul 2 Spyders
We are having one built right now to haul my Spyder RT and my husband's HD Streetglide. Hurst Trailers in Washburn, Tennessee builds them. We went with an open trailer with rock guards so we can pull it with my Dodge Nitro or our F150.
Never accept "no" from someone who does not have the authority to say "yes".

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
