$650 for the Fatz trailer and you can buy a real 5x10 trailer for the same price.
The 5x10 trailer will haul anything up to 1 ton. Thank me later

Nothing new here. I used one in the early '70s to haul a dirt bike. Had to pull the chain. Great way to wear out your rear tire.
No f'n way would I put any HD on one.

Would love to have one to go resue a broken down bike that needs to go a short distance...would never think of hauling a long distance with it.

Seriously looked into awhile back. As the wife's longer rides were getting shorter. Health stuff.

Found a fella the next town over that had one and was wanting to sell it.
Went to see it and got to visiting with him. It just didn't set right with me and after a couple beers he admitted it was a mistake to have gotten it with ANY intention of hauling a bike much distance. He didn't have room to store a trailer so he had rented a trailer for the last couple of trips. Seemed to work out better.

Here we go again, those been around since the 70's at least and I have personally seen the results of 2 bikes it didn't go well for. first one they figured the bike popped into gear hitting a bump and ended up dragging a flat spot on the tire blowing it, second busted a tie down and he drug the bike when it went over tangled in the chock. Even back then they strongly recommended dropping the chain to and I quote " Avoid undue or sudden damage to the transmission ".

Dirtbike maybe a 600 to 900lbs harley no fuggen way.

The Fatz unit looks like it has NO lights.
Rather dangerous to have a bike sticking back about 8 feet from your bumper if it does not have lights in my opinion.
The website is rather limited in information and photos.
I wonder about license plate requirements too.

How does a rig like that work when backing up? If the forks were locked straight maybe not too bad but I don't see it.
