so i am in the market for an enclosed trailer. i would like to stay away from bedding the bike or putting the bike on an open trailer. i would really like an enclosed one that is not to big. anyone trying to get rid of one or have a connection of some kind??

thanks :smt023

man dont get a enclosed. buy an old flat one, and me and mosh will weld some supports on and board the sides up while you go get your manicure. it'll prolly be cheaper then buyin one with the walls and everything.

i understand what ur sayn man. not the manicure thing tho!! having an enclosed will work out better. a flat one is last resort. if i go over nite sumwhere i DO NOT want my bike siting out in the open. it would be gone in a second! plus the bike is constantly exposed to the element. i dont mind it getting stuk in rain here and there but i would hate for rocks and bugs and chips to get on it from a road trip.

look at how motorcycle trailors work... the front is a V to protect it... no top at all... over night just put a cover over it... enclosed are really $$$

no top? well i have been looking at ramps trailers everything. every enclosed has a top man, especially for 1400$+. the cheapest i found is still over a grand. now i am looking at ramps, found some for 400ish to my door. hell i might make one from home depot accessories so that the dam thing will be user friendly. or there is the harbor freight trailer. that thing is not sitting well with me. for 250 you gotta put 250 in to get it setup nice. plus i have read shitty things about their ball bearings. i am lookin at a trailer with a wheel chock on it. its like 550$

what you do is make the front tounge of the trailor removable... that way no one can jack it... thats what we did with my uncles race trailor... works like a charm for the nights it sits outside of the hotel

check out the miscellaneous vehicle autotrader (rv trader maybe)

They have a bunch of small enclosed used trailers. Check it out, might be able to score a good deal, ive seen some myself in there.
