Trailering a Spyder on an open trailer

size and price

what size did you order for the Spyder RT and how much was it?
Thanks

This summer we trailered the RT from Central Florida to upstate New York and back, 4000 miles total. Almost the entire trip the Spyder was covered with a Geza Pro cover. http://www.gezagear.com/I was concerned about the cover rubbing the paint or windshield, but was assured that was not a problem. Running at highway speeds on interstates including heavy rain, not a mark on the bike. I was very pleased with the cover and would recommend it. Although it is a little pricy, but then the Spyder is too. Does require removing the antenna to install the cover, but easily replaced once you get the hang of it.

First of all, the trailering that I'm referring to is a 2800 mile return trip to Florida.
Trailering down to Florida in early November and back to Canada the 1st of May so hopefully snow won't be a factor.
My question is whether or not you use a cover when trailering your beloved Spyder on an open trailer.
Also, if you don't cover it, do you do anything to protect the paint etc?
I've heard of this product and read some pretty good reviews on it but maybe it's overkill, don't know.

Your opinions and shared knowledge are appreciated.

Awesome setup. I have been looking at aluminum trailers for my spyder as well.... and was concerned about trailing it without any cover... looks like you have that covered (pun intended)...
Thanks for sharing... now I know what to look for.....

Trailering

I have a 2016 F3T that I have trailered many times without a cover! Hint on loading your bike! I carry no ramps but because if the angle you have to be careful not to scrape the front end! I have my wife take the truck and trailer to the local high school and drop the tailgating on a curb then I drive right up the ramp! Works great and I don’t have to bring extra stuff to level the ramp!
