Roger.......Welcome To Trike-Talk.............

Welcome - here is something to think about.

How often will you use the trailer and, do you have a place to store it when not in use. I had a Chariott enclosed trailer - probably used it less than 10 times in 10 years. Mostly towed my bike to the dealer for winter maintenance.

You can probably get a U Haul trailer to tow your trike for about 29 per day. Take the bike where you want to go, pay the $200 - and, return it. Get it again next time you want to go

My daughter took my trailer to California 3 years ago - I have not missed it - and, have more room in my garage

Welcome to Trike Talk Roger! We use an Aluma 7712H till trailer for our CSC trike. Can use it for transporting our garden tractor, four wheelers, etc...

We have 2 enclosed trailers to haul our toys.

Also have one Aluma open trailer 7712.

One nice thing about the enclosed trailers they are out of sight out of mind when spending a night in a motel and they are out of the elements!

Open trailers pull easier.

V front enclosed trailers pull easier than flat fronts.

I could not be happier with my Aluma TK-1

It's light, built in ramp, easy to load and tow.

7447, does have a point there.... Back in 2003 I purchased a brand new trailer to tow my two wheel'rrr (at the time) to go to Sturgis..... Well here it is 2021 and I have not had any reason to use it again..... (now that's it a trike/my bike won't even fit on it)

I paid $1,500 for this trailer BRAND NEW .............used it once for this trip, and sold it for $300.00..........Not a very wise investment for sure....... I should have rented it.....

Uhaul trailers are too narrow to haul a trike. The gate on them does not extend completely from side to side of the trailers total width, as the side rails turn in on either side and extend inwards about 8" per side, making the gate opening too narrow for a trike to be loaded.

Thanks - I used one years ago to tow my GoldWing with a MotorTrike conversion. As I mentioned, I has a Chariot - but, my daughter took it.

I am going back to a trike - should be ready around the end of March. Should I decide to tow it, I will look for some options, including some of the guys here that have them.

A used landscaping trailer with a dropped down gate as the ramp , works just fine .

Ask me how I know …..

[FRR]

Roger, I know you are further north but I have a Wing and have owned several of them. I found a 7x12 with a wedge works best for an enclosed trailer. Got mine north of Cincinnati at Smith Trailers outside of Mason. Get the electric brakes but I didn't think I needed a tandem. I haul to Florida in the Fall and out west when I'm taking trips out there. Don't get those cheap bias tires. Radials is the way to go. Just IMHO.

Got me to thinking (yes it hurts) I have a Triglide that I haul in a enclosed trailer but the Goldwing trike is wider and we are considering a 2019 or up Goldwing, my question is how wide is the Roadsmith?

[Motorcycle Mike]

My Hannigan is 60".

I don't believe anybody's are any wider.

Thanks Mike, I have had a Hannigan in my trailer before so I know it will fit.
