Anyone seen a trailer that can haul 2 Spyders?

[chillirider]

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.

you can haul two on a singal axle 6x12 with a ramp one forward one backward it works easy........I'm a dealer i am constantly loading and un loading....this works for me

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. :dontknow:

Hum, seems like a valid concern. :lecturef_smilie:

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

 

[chillirider]

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.

Each to their own.... I am only mentioning it because it was to me.:2thumbs:

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... :spyder2:

That had to suck:gaah:..... 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 stayednojoke. 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.
