small & light trailer for car

[SomeStrangeGuy]

Wow, snowbear is $700?? I can get them in New Hampshire for $599..thats for the 9000 dood

I do not beleive they have hooks in the floor, but did you check out the 'accessories' on their website look under 'motorcycle kit'

Im pretty jealous I dont have a vehicle that can tow worth a damn (Honda Civic). I do have a 93 ranger 4cyl which I refer to as my 'motorized trailer', and hopefully lives for the next 12 months...

By the way G: Is your car an auto or a stick? does the tranny have a tow mode, or manually selectable lower gearing (why do I ask )?
If you are considering doing this seriously - Id look into a tranny cooler (or maybe a bigger one, I think the Xi has one) as well as an oil cooler...just food fer thought.

For the Trailer in your first post .Its FINE .All you really need to do is install a sheetof 3/4 plywood painted for a deck and your good to go. I have a very similiar trailer 3 rails ,was a dirt bike trailer threw the ply on top and have had no problems in the 10 years Ive owned it and Ive towed bikes from NY to Vegas with it with no problems .Just get a spare tire and save your money for the important stuff like more track time.

Did you us it for Sportbike at all. Thats what moist of the people above adviced that the trailer u mentioned are good for Dirt bike. But the ramp angle is too steap for sportbikes. Plus I will have to fit the plys, ramp, tie loops. Therefore, I was hoping to find a ready made trailer for sport bike with attached ramp and some protection from the stone by virtue of body panels on the trialer.
Although, the trailer I mentioned at the Top are very enticing at under $300.00

My bad...it actually costs $599.00 and not $700.

My car is manual shift...never thought about the tranny cooler but I would consider. I was wondering myself that the extra load could create heating issues.

I bought one of these..http://www.sportutilitytrailers.com/LongChih/745TC-1TS70M.htm...from the same site..it works great... the ramp is a bit wimpy..ie short..but as long as your trailer head is at 20' or better youll be ok.....I hitch mine up to a lowered camaro....works great....

Thats interesting...I placed an order for the following http://www.sportztrailers.com/cgi-bin....1009189 and then cancelled it cause I realized that the rail is only 6.2 inches while the rear tire of the 954 is 190mm which is approximately 7.6 inces. ALthough, this trailer has a 45' ramp meant for HOGs and sportsbikes.

How wide is the rail on ur trailer?

I use a similar trailer modded slightly. We added a 3/4 in wood floor, welded a wide piece of angle iron down so we would have wider angles for tie downs. Trimmed the back of the rails down so a 190 could fit. Threw away the ramp than came with it and use a 2x10 with a lip on it. Work fine for towing my RC and F4i.

Harbourfreight has some wider rails you can purchase as well as trailers.

Thanks for all the info...i bought the above mentioned snowbear landscape trailer yesturday. I am very happy with the buy. Its true value for the money. I will get the wheel chocks and anchors installed tomorrow.

Why not just look in the used section of the Auto trader or Trading times or something like that? People get rid of that stuff all the time
