    Default For those with trailering exp.

    Does this trailer look like it would be easy to drive an RT onto without scraping the nose?

    I think it would be close, but if it is necessary you can put a 2X4 under the entry point to assure that it will not scrape.

    Just make sure it is wide enough for the spyder.

    It looks better than what I've used in the past... looks like a hydraulic lock on the tilt too!

    I agree. If it scrapes, place a 2x4 (or 2x6 or 2x8) just before the ramp to raise the nose a touch before the transition onto the ramp. Work with it to make it work & you should be happy.

    Try backing it on may give you extra room

    Doesn't look much steeper than my covered trailer. As has already been stated, if it's WIDE enough, it should be fairly simple to adjust the angle of approach as necessary.

    Dragging these bikes backwards will put a lot of strain on the windshield, that it wasn't designed for...
    I'd suggest removing it, if you get this creative with the trailering setup.

    I trailer my RT and your trailer looks very doable.. Mine appears to be a little steeper incline and I do NOT have any problems with the nose. Happy trailering!!

    Do not tow it backwards unless you remove the windshield first or you will be looking for a new windshield.

    Ok....so I went to Florida for the winter and left my new RT crated at the dealer for delivery in April. So...now my plans have changed. I bought the trailer above and leave Monday for Canada to pick up the Spyder and return it to Florida! Some may say I am crazy....I just say I am livin the life! Went to Central Florida Powersports today and met BikerDoc's black brother, he told me to call him that claiming Doc would know of who I speak....nice guy.

    Anyway wish me luck and fair weather!

    cheers Kevin
