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. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I bought a used hitch rack and made it into a cooler rack for the 622 trailer. Works well too. It does mount to the tongue of the trailer and has room when making turns.
Just keep in mind that since its mounted to the rear swing arm things in the cooler will get shook up and anything fragile may get damaged

This is true. The violent bouncing from the swing arm damaged my trailer and broke all the bottles in the cooler. I built a custom frame mount hitch to solve the problem but never used it before selling the spyder and returned to two wheels It's now in the steel pile behind the shop.

I seen that hitch you made..Really like to have tried one of those out myself :thumbup:
I also put a swivel hitch on my 622 it does help more around turns and less stress on the trailer
What type of swivel hitch did you get? I have been looking at sites this evening for one for my 622. Thank you
Thank you

You will need to send them the measurement's and they can have one made. See there measurement form.

did you figure out what kind of hitch it was? i am wanting to put a swivel hitch on mine, but unsure what hitch is on the 622. markings only indicate TOW SYSTEM #22127, so not sure who the manufacturer actually is

Just follow the dimension PDF they post and send that to them and they will have it custom made to your specs.
Or call them with any questions. They are really helpful..:thumbup:

The smoothest riding area of the trailer is in the back. The harshest area is in the front and tongue. I put my cooler in the very back with light weight stuff in the middle and heavy carry bag in the front of the trailer. This keeps the load balanced correctly and my "sodas" 
in the cooler do not explode when opened. I think the jack-hammering effect of carrying a heavy load, like gas or a cooler, on the tongue would be tough on the equipment. Especially since our hitches are attached to the unsprung rear swing arm. Works for me. Good luck on whatever you decide.....

I like that idea, especially when I saw a new rack set up for $500. Way to much for me

We have pulled the trailer thousands of miles with the cooler in the front and have never had an issue with any type of glass bottles. Everyone has their own ideas and that is fine but my experience is put a small cooler wherever you decide to put it and then get on your Spyder and ride it like you stole it. The 622 trailer is going to follow you like its on rails and your favorite beverage is going to be there for you when you stop.
