• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software.

Best Trailer For Hauling Spyder

638 Trailer length

We just purchased an Aluma 638 for our 2018 Limited. Only have to make the front chocks in order for the cowling to clear.
It is very light and easy to move around.

I am curious about the length of the 638 trailer at: 8ft. The specs on the length of the Spyder F3 is 104in = 8.66 ft which would be .66 over the 8ft length of the trailer. I viewed your attached photo and your Spyder seems to fit well.
What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Look at the photo you see the front tires touch the front of the 8ft trailer and the nose of the Spyder hangs over about a foot or more. Same would happen on an F3, you use the front of the trailer as wheel stop.
 
I just picked up a folding trailer last week. I will have to do a couple of mods to it, but it should be a perfect fit. I hope to be able to leave the center wheel chock on so that I can use it to trailer my Vmax if needed. I will post pictures when I am done with the mods.

The distance from the front wheel chocks to the rear of the trailer is 7'-6". You can see that a F3T spyder would easily fit on a 8' trailer. This is my modified 2 bike trailer.

How many of them you want to haul at one time?

I am getting a 2020 Spyder RT Limited and currently plan to get a Continental Cargo trailer from a dealer in Richmond, VA. Closest dealer I could find. I plan to use it as the garage in the winter here in WV and to haul it to MN for the summer. I appreciate all the postings as it helped me make a decision.
 
Will - You didn't mention what size trailer you're getting. My experience is that my 2019 RTL (spec sheet says 5' 2.5" wide) would not fit through the door opening on my Pace 6 X 12 cargo trailer. Measure what ever you decide to buy to be positive the Spyder will fit. I ended up getting a 7 X 14 all aluminum tandem axle trailer.
 
There is a place near Sneadville, TN that has Kiefer flatbed aluminum trailers that the F3 will fit perfectly on leaves about 1 in room on each side of the wheels. Mine is great and I tow it with a 2019 Ford Flex with no issues. paid $800+ tax new for it. They are manufactured in Sneadville, TN. 5x8

Yo Peoples, looking for advise and experience, looking to haul 2 RT Limited in an enclosed trailer, need information on size needed for 2 bikes,
aluminum probable would be best due to the size needed, suggestions on reasonably priced brands that travel & wear well,
also that would load easily with the low clearance of said machines
thanks for all your help
 
I looked at the Continental Cargo enclosed in Richmond VA but the opening was not big enough by 1”, so I must be looking at a different one than you bought.
 
After buying a Spyder this week and doing a lot of measuring I realized that my utility trailer just isn't going to be wide enough. Found a Bear Track trailer yesterday in Port Charlotte. Very much like the Aluma. Pics on this thread helped.

Mine is 6’ by 12’. Is the 2020 Spyder wider than the 17?
