Cool Check this out!

What if I told you you can haul your bike in your trailer with no wheel chock and no tie down straps. Sounds crazy , right! Well I just installed a device made by Roberts Products in my hauler and I can't tell you how cool it is , so check them out on-line at Roberts Products .com and see for yourself.

I'm not sure I'd trust my 1100 pound trike to a single point of failure system.

Default What a great idea!

For everybody that rides a trailer queen that is!
Unless I'm moving a whole house full of ****, I'm riding my motorcycle there.
Thanks but, no thanks.

I used to think like that too.... then I got old and crippled with arthritis. I wish I could trailer somewhere then ride a little. unfortunately, my latest car can't handle a trailer and the RKC. it's a Cadillac CTS - one would think it could, huh? but no! max tow is 1000#, with 150# tongue weight.... I can't find a light trailer that fits those specs.

Etrailer has all kinds of tow hitches. I put a self installed class 1 hitch(lowest rating) on a 2003 BMW 325i and used it with a new "trailer in a bag" trailer to pull a road king classic about 1,600 miles. The hitch is difficult to notice when wire is hidden, ball mount removed and square hitch hole is covered with rubber plug. I was limited by the class 1 rating to either a "Trailer in a bag" or "Porta Chopper"

oops - looks like we kinda hijacked this tread. I haven't had any trouble finding a trailer hitch.... just a decent trailer. I looked at the Stinger.... but, because of the axle placement, the tongue weight is too much. I'll look into the trailer in a bag. thanks
