Default RE: Trailer question??


ORIGINAL: Lil Truckr

If you do find a trailer built to haul two baggers make sure it has a double axle system under it. A one axle trailer just isn't strong enough to handle two big bikes weighing almost 1600 pounds. Add the bikes weight to the weight of the trailer itself and you are at or over the maximum rating of most trailer axles.

Ride safe and thing spring...


Lil Truckr
Most all standard trailer axles are 3500 pound rated axles. That would be the most a single axle trailer should weigh including whatever you put inside it, or load on it. A single axle is doable with two baggers. An advantage of having two axles is a flat or bearing failure on one wheel - you can still run with three wheels if you need to get to a better place to work on it or get it fixed and not be stuck on the side of the road. A dual axle trailer would up your total combined weight to 7,000 lbs.

Mine will hold 2 baggers and room for "Stuf"
How do you get two baggers in there with stuff?

My Ultra is 8'6" with the tour pack in the back postion.

I couldn't get two of them side by side in my 6x10 Haulmark.(But I do have the Vee Nose Trailer)

I've heard this question answered both ways. Safety chains, yesor no? I installed a a Kury hitch and went for a test pull last night and realized (duh) there is no place to hook the chains on. What is everyone else doing?
