Looking at a Freedom motorcyle trailer

[Capt John]

I've been looking at this trailer for the Spyder. Does anyone have any experience with Freedom trailers? I would really like a Bushtec, but price is the big factor. As always thanks for chiming in.

It looks a lot like the Aluma trailer (MCT/MCTXL). I picked up a used Aluma MCT about a month ago and think it's a pretty sweet little trailer. The Aluma doesn't come carpet lined like the Freedom, but they look almost identical with similar specs.

If you go with an aftermarket trailer, I would strongly suggest you test the leads coming off the Spyder. I have a 2011 RT-S and although the tongue harness is a 9 wire, only 4 of them are needed (ground, running, left brake and turn, right brake and turn). Yes, the brake and turn signals are ran out of the same lines - at least it is on my :spyder2:.

Looks just like this companies too except they are a couple of hundred dollars cheaper. I have a couple of friends that bought from www.minitrailerusa.com in Oklahoma and they are real happy with them. I plan to buy one as soon as my budget will allow. Here is the link to the one on sale.

We have the Escape. Tracks well and hardly know its there. It has carpet in the main part of the trailer, not in the tool box.

On our road trip, the top lid of the trailer got chaffed from gas cans tied on top, also got some cracks by the hinges. Gave The Best Motorcycle Trailers a call and they are sending us a new lid at no cost to us. Now thats service!
