• 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.

Trailer

Since they weigh several tons, rent or buy the biggest trailer you can afford and most likely the biggest truck you can afford to pull that trailer with.

6 x 10 minimum but 6 x 12 is better. Have used the Aluma utility trailer and they haul great and load easy but make sure you get the oversize gate.
 

7 X 12 is what I would recommend that is enclosed. Keeps the Spyder clean, protects it from road debris,

prevents theft or vandalism and you can haul extras i.e. tools, luggage cooler. Many good reasons for an

enclosed trailer. This size allows you to move around Spyder inside the trailer.

Two people on this site have had Spyders stolen off of open trailers and I am sure there are many more.

Here's what we use for our RT

Get the dimensions and literature: http://www.droptailtrailers.com/

I use it for EITHER the Spyder or the Gold Wing. I must use the center position for the Gold Wing as it will not fit on the left or right side of the trailer due to length. We trailer our 2014 RT Limited with no problem with this trailer and it "noses" up in the V part of the trailer against our 20" stone guard (which is optional). The 4 pictures added at bottom were just a couple months ago....note that I do NOT transport with the cover on it. I only cover the Spyder when leaving it out overnight! Also, all the tie down straps were removed at this time as it was parked.

From an earlier post of mine:
We use a Droptail trailer. I really like that it folds and stores upright in the garage and NO ramps needed - built in. Works well for the Spyder with the low clearance. The back of the trailer hydraulically lowers and the built in rear gate folds down to extend the ramp portion. Easy to use. Our Spyder RT just fits and the nose of the Spyder fits in the V part of the front of the trailer. Not a lot of spare room, but works well. The Spyder fills the whole trailer even though this is a "two up" motorcycle trailer. A bonus for us is that our Gold Wing can be hauled on this trailer (with the use of the wheel chock that is included with the trailer) as well - however, only one bike at a time (unless you have two - 2 wheel motorcycles that are "short" enough). There is a standard 8 inch stone guard and an optional 20" stone guard. I did add the 20" stone guard on our trailer. Also, we purchased an optional spare tire which bolts to the bottom of the trailer. It has a steel frame with an aluminum deck with lots of tie down points!

Here's some info on the model number and a few pics: Drop - Tail "Two - Up" Cruiser / Sport Bike Trailer, model number: 03-DCT2200-02

Good luck on your choice of trailers - there are a lot of good trailers out there that work!! :thumbup:

My Spyder ride

Utility trailer is all aluminum 62" X 120". Roadster never moved after 500 miles of bumps. Tie all three wheels down as in the manual. It has a bi-fold gate and lower axle style, no rubbing anywhere when loading. I will admit it's a little tight.

Just make sure what ever you decide to get that it low enough to the ground so you can drive the Spyder up on it without hitting the front end on the ramp.

Here's our with the side removed, and with them installed on the trailer.
