yeah, not my bike. I wouldnt trailer it unless it was completely unrideable, ever. but damn sure not on that thing. no suspension at all on the trailer, no way. it is gonna beat itself to death back there on anything but smooth as glass roads.

I was able to see and try one that was for sale. It seemed flimsy, you could twist the whole thing and it was so low to the ground that I was worried about clearance on anything but a very smooth road. Also very over priced for what you get. Its only redeeming feature is it folds if you have no big space to keep it.
I ended up buying a Bear Track aluminum utility trailer. I had them install a removable locking chock. Now I can use the same trailer for my cycle and I can remove the chock and carry my ATV.

I think a tow dolly would be much better...at least you would have the bikes suspension working for you: http://www.prohoists.com/Shopping.id...5&ProductID=35

I think this would be a mistake, I've seen enclosed v-nose, low profile trailers for $1800. They tow way better and fit in a standard garage. I miss mine. It came in handy for so much more than just towing the bike.....peace of mind for over night stays.

Don't know if it was a Stinger or not, but I trailered the Nightster from Ga. to Tenn. in the snowy winter on a similar fold up trailer. Rode nice, no issues at all. It loaded well, too. It belonged to the seller, who was kind enough to let me borrow it.

Thanks for all the replies.
I know this has been a dead thread for a while, but I found one used for about $1000. It comes complete with floorboards, tie down straps, and hitch.
I have limited space for storage. That's why I'm interested.
My tow vehicle is limited to hauling 1500 lbs. The Stinger is weighs under 200 lbs. Motorcycles weighs about 850 and 600 lbs. For a maximum, total weight of 1050 lbs that I can tow safely.
Sorry Aviator, I didn't mean to hijack your thread.
But I was wondering if you purchased one or not. Also, maybe some unanswered questions could be answered for both of us.
Ride safe,
Bob.
