Buying a trailer

Post by StuMiller »

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a trailer to move the 99 ZX6 trackie around and would like your opinions.

Option 1. Buy a bike trailer.

Option 2. Buy an open trailer (either 6x4 or 7x5) and mount a Kenag bike stand on it so it can be put to use other than moving the bike around.

Those who move their bikes on an open trailer, does it fit in the middle length ways on a 7x5 as a 6x4 is too short.

Would like to see some pictures of those who are running with option 2.

Cheers!

We got this, Its a 7 x 5 . Heaps of room. A 7 x 4 boxey or something similar will get your bike in straight though. We went wider to get two bikes on with plenty of space.

Got a 7x4 box trailer and put a kaneg trailermate in the front. Is good for other uses and the bike fits perfect. I couldnt get a 7x5 due to space restrictions where its garaged but would have if I could. If you do go that way, get them to weld some tie down points on the floor on the edges of the trailer at the front and along the side :D
