searching through the posts for trailer info and found some stuff but... but I need to know about trailers??? I was looking at a 5x8 utility with drop down gate and 12" tires, the floor is wire mesh but its all rated to carry 900 lbs..... never trailed a bike so I dont want the wrong trailer to be the reason for a mishap, ya feel me.... thanks all

 

If you bought it, I would reccomend stripping the wire mesh floor and put in a solid wood floor. A little heavier but it will be a lot more sturdy and secure.

 

oh ok,, i have seen one with a wood floor, so I should get that one, but are the 12" wheels suffice or should I get one with 15" like a "salesman" was trying to get me to buy???

 

don't buy a home depot or harbor freight type trailer. most of them are junk. go to a place that custom builds trailers and you'll see the quality difference.

hmmm. I would prob go with the bigger wheels. I am used to driving full size trailers with dual axles or even 1. the bigger wheels make it a lot smoother and in my opinion help when I am backing up and turning the trailer in reverse. how much are theyt asking for it? New or used?

 

12" wheels are alright for light loads like your bike, but the 15" will have more capacity. Also, the trailer with 15" wheels willmost likelyhave a higher capacity axle than the 12" trailer.

I've trailed with 12" tires before and never had any problems...I didnt notice the bike being un-sturdy in any way, as long as it's strapped down correctly

 

I was looking at a texas bragg...I know they have good quality and there were a few at lowes that were about $100-200 less I am traveling about 400 miles real soon and just not sure about bouncing of the trailer and how fast I should go, stuff like that. Not worried about the load because it is just going to be my f4i.

 

Bigger wheels will tow better and wont burn out the bearings as fast, since the wheel wont be spinning as much. It all depends on how much money and how much maintenance you don't mind spending and doing.

 

well I guess I will stick with 13-15 inch wheels, wood floor, sounds good to me, hey thanks all for the input...
