• 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.

Spyder 2up trailer

Thought I would share pixels of our new trailer if anyone is interested in hauling 2 spyders at once.
It is 7 1/2 x 18' all aluminum and weighs only 1500lbs empty, has 3500lb torsion axles w/ electric brakes.
Required 4 custom D-ring locations and everything is tied down at the wheels. 3 ramps store underneath.

Tony Crim of Crims Trailer Sales helped me with the design. His shop is in Front Royal, VA (540-635-8201)

Nice :thumbup: sure will be helpful for someone thanks. & off hand what's with the missing side panel on the ST r side? :popcorn: Hope not a heat issue
 
The third ramp and the stone guard were the only options ordered from the factory The ramp rack is spring loaded and drops down to slide out the ramps , springs up to lock in place. Ramps work at the rear & along the sides

We're using it for long haul trips to the west where we will park and ride long loops to see as many National Parks as we can.

The ST has a coolant leak and was taken for service which turns out to be due to leaks from a couple of those crimp- on hose clamps because of temp fluctuations. (Dealer claims to have seen the problem several times)

NICE! :agree: Is this a total custom trailer? OR a Trailer that has some custom work done to it. :thumbup:
 
Question

My wife and I have considered doing the same thing about towing the Spyder to a distant destination and then riding "local" loops. I am curious where you can safely park a truck and trailer for a couple of days at a time while you are off riding. What are your plans? We don't have limitless time and don't like to put more than 200-250 miles in the saddle every day, so towing to a distant destination is a much better option for us.

Same here. We have 5 loops planned in order to collect all the National Park quarters in the western US. For each loop or two, we plan to drive to a central spot and make arrangements to park the truck and trailer at a gated storage yard. Trailer will be locked to truck and 2 heavy steel cables thru the 4 wheels will hopefully ensure it will be be there when we return

Thanks for the feed back. When are you planning to do the trips? Sounds like a Grand Adventure. :thumbup:
