    Not saying it's legal or that it's even advisable in the craziest of universes, but they've been doing it..... aaand apparently without incident or repurcussion for many years now! Between them they must've covered 10's if not 100's of thousands of miles towing these things!!

    And there's another bloke in Western Australia who's fitted a 'Trike conversion' to his Spyder to increase its legal towing limit so he can 'legally' tow his 700 or so kg camper (he fitted one of those 'dual rear wheels with diff' trike kits.... so to you'n me it's now a quad, but apparently the Approval Engineer got it thru as a legit 'trike conversion' on a 'motorcycle'.... )
    Time and money you can do anything.

    Happy TRAils/NSD

    I was thinking of the same thing of putting another axle and putting brakes on each...

    Started 2014 with a 2013 RT-S SE5. Wrecked it April 2019 with a 200lb hog! I am Blessed because if that was a two wheel motorcycle, DPS said without a shadow of a doubt I would have been dead! Thank you Can-Am! The issue I had with GIECO is they told me not to take anything off the Spyder when I brought it in to their claims center because they paid it out as a total. I just had ELKA put on all around and over $7,000 in Farkle that I am having to replace all that I could have taken off the '13. Bought a 2014 with only 3728 miles! Love it! My therapy!

    Another axle, this makes no sense to me .... since having ONE axle is no problem for the weight of trailer why would you add all the weight (plus weight of brakes) of another axle assembly .... .... Mike
