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.
What would be the smallest cargo trailer my Spyder would fit?

Depends on whether you want to transport it on its wheels, its side or the rear. :joke:
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand this question - measure your Spyder and find a trailer that meets your needs. There's more to it than just size; open trailer or enclosed? aluminum or steel? general purpose or designed specifically for the Spyder? How much garage or yard space do you have to work with? Fold-down ramp or detachable or none?
There have been many threads on the pros and cons of the various ways to transport a Spyder, with some important considerations (e.g. ground clearance) you may not have considered.

you need a 6x12 minimum.

You will need a trailer that has a bed about this size (as a minimum) 63" x 137"
That assumes an open bed, not covered. If you want an enclosed trailer you would have to allow extra room on the sides to walk around it inside the trailer.
You can use this as an example: https://www.alumaklm.com/recreational/motorcycle/tk1-trike-trailer

I have an Aluma 6810 that works very well. I can recommend it. However, with this model the wheels are outside the bed and make for a bigger package. If you need the smallest, then you want a different model - one where the wheels are underneath the bed. However, then the bed is much higher and that can be problematic for getting the Spyder loaded.
Model: 6810
Weight: 500#
Bed Size: 68.5" x 122"
Tires: 13"

The smallest that it would fit into is NOT the same as a size that would be safe to haul it in.
I'm guessing here a bit but I think you need at least 4 inches clearance on all sides to keep from banging the body parts into the sides of the trailer on an nasty bump. And when I was thinking about getting a bigger trailer, I was going to get one with a forward access door on BOTH sides so that you could lash down each front wheel a bit easier; that would be almost impossible if you have the bare minimum size and no adjacent door.
The above is assuming an enclosed trailer, of course.
With an open trailer......get out your tape measure.

Thanks. Unfortunately the wheels stick out further than my tow vehicles' width, so I'm constantly misjudging how much room I have. Hence, the bent fenders.

I can attest to the fact that it won't fit on my 5' by 10' trailer.

This is the 6' X 12' trailer (on the left) we rented to retrieve my RTL. It has plenty of extra room on the sides and in back. Loading and unloading was a snap. It is a bit heavy though - something around 1,000 lbs (all steel).

Wow, that is a great trailer, if I could whistle, I would, but then nobody would hear it. Hey, in that case if nobody could hear it, did I actually make a sound?

It would fit into a 6x9 trailer, and be tight...
But if you run it through a crusher first: you could probably just use a large tote! :roflblack:

I've been looking at them, and spoke to Jamie at their factory... :thumbup:
But I'm probably going to just get a Class C Toyhauler Motorhome instead...
With an 8x9 foot garage in the rear section...
