Default Any one trailer their bikes?

Now that I ave my stronger engine in I just need to regear and I'm good with the drivetrain.

Who trailers their bikes with one of those harbor freight trailers (or any little trailer)? Hows the pull on your vehicle?

The bare trailer is 272lbs, then add a flooring (I'd like aluminum), then my bike which is over 500lbs.

I have one of those harbor freight trailers that i haul mine to the beach on, (like 6hrs to long to ride). the trailer is light and once loaded you really wont even notice that its back there. I pulll mine with a 95 Honda passport ( Izuzu Rodeo) v6 auto and it pulls just fine. never had a problem pulling it when loaded. when they are empty they are all over thelane and you can feel it. but with weight its not bad. if its the smaller of the 2 from harbor freight its gross weight is like 900lbs and just to give you a heads up... if you want aluminum check into that first... I purchased the wood 2x8 flooring for it becuase i thought it would be cheaper... guess what, it isnt.

I want to cheap it as light as possible. I have a welding shop by work so I'm sure they'll have scraps.


Also think 1.6L 4 banger.

I sorta agree, esp with its to long/far to ride bit, thats a posers line

But there are times when you to take things that just wont fit on the bike, like a weeks worth of clothes, stands, etc.
