So, a few years ago I wanted to trailer my Cognac 2014 RT-S SE6. I sent for the "Superclamp" set up in plenty of time to get it and install it on my 18' drop tail flatbed car trailer. It didn't arrive when I expected it and after many excuses about the carrier, the manufacturer and the retailers all pointing fingers at each other.... and not a one of them offered to overnight one of the Superclamp sets to me, I told them to just cancel my order and I'd figure something out. MAN, I'm glad I did. Save a BUNCH of money!! So, below are pictures of my solution...
I essentially build my own "Superclamps". I just made sure that at least one of the "Clamp" bolts went through a steel cross support. AS you see beneath the one that does not go through the angle iron, I used TWO big washers. There are also 2 heavy (1/2" solid) duty eyes also bolted through a steel cross support. I installed the eyes a bit in front of the rear passenger foot boards and just tie the Spyder down and front against the "clamps". I have trailered 1000's of miles with no issues.
This weekend I am going to also trailer my RT622 trailer. I am not sure how I'll tie it down but, I have a few ideas.
I used pressure treated lumber to build these and let them dry out before priming and painting them. I added some sand to the paint on the bottom just to add a little bit of grip to keep it from even WANTING it to slide forward. Also some grit added to the part the tire touches inside the "clamp" part. I don't leave them on the trailer. In fact just this weekend, I re-decked the trailer and put them on for a trip to the NY finger lakes area coming up soon.
Hope this helps some of you more handy folks looking for a cheap, safe way to trailer your :spyder2:.
