How to secure Freedom trailer off bike?

[WARWAGON]

Okay got a lock for the ball. So it can't be pulled. But do you secure it an other way? Worry about it walking away.

Locks only keep the honest person honest!
But I still use them.

I think if you lock it up with what you have, AND take pics of it (for insurance purposes just in case) you'll be ok. For the most part, I think the "Spyder" population has a mutual respect for others, as most are pretty mature and responsible. I don't see a non Spyder owner stealing a Spyder trailer.....that would just be wrong

Securing trailer

I use a hitch lock when connected to the bike, and when not connected such as in a motel lot while we are out on rides we use the hitch lock so the tounge can't be connected to a hitch and in addition I use a wheel boot, between the 2 most people will look elsewhere.

I just take "Ralph" along and leave the lid open. No locks or cables necessary. He always stays in the

trailer day and night. Ralph is a very mean pitbull that weighs 110#. I rescued him from a Junkyard. Had

to use a Water Pik to get the remains of the last intruder out from between his teeth. I love that dog!

lmao. only you !!--irv


with 2 wheel boots, you could put 1 on the back of the spyder too.
take them off before starting out.

All of the above...

The cable lock can be used to tie both wheels together when a post is not handy...:thumbup:

I got mine from ebay for $20 They can also be purchased through amazon, the trailer sales had some but wanted quite a bit more for them. They are pretty well built and don't weigh too much for this model and is adjustable depending on wheel width. I just put mine in the trailer and always have it along.

Got mine Sunday. Can't wait to use it. Looks good. Thanks for the input.

this may work for larger trailers & ATV's just fine but determined thief (as stupid as they may be):lecturef_smilie: will just leave the tire rim & cable & lift the light weight freedom trailer up & out more likely in bed of truck because it is small enough. Same with cable unless you have it going thru the frame someway. If you can get it indoors with you may be the best (not practical) solution cuz from expierance if a crook cant take it, they will damage it (or you). They just that way:dontknow::barf:
