Hauling our motorcycle

We towed a Honda VTX Cruiser (about 900 pounds) for a few years. I was out of room for toys and trailers at home, so I bought a folding trailer that was designed for three dirt bikes. I removed the two outer rails and added some aluminum diamond plate to the top. It was low to the ground and had jack stands on it, so I could load the bike without having the trailer attached to the RV. I had a nice cover that didn't damage the paint while towing and worked out great. It was about $700.00. When at home or even at the campground, it folded up and rolled around on dolly wheels. It was a great substitute for hauling the bike and not dealing with a big trailer.

I have towed my ole Harley like that but back then I'd take the chain off. but now a days they have a belt. They are harder to deal with. I'd use a small motorcycle trailer

I like my hydralift

Trailer only. A multi-purpose 12 x 6 ramp gate trailer only costs $1200.00 brand new, and you can always use it for other things too.

I bought a Logan Coach Silver Eagle enclosed motorcycle trailer that is absolutely fantastic for hauling two bikes and gear. I built my own lift for bringing my bike with me when double towing is not legal. I still have to either paint it or find someone to powder coat it. When it warms up I'll weld my hitch receiver onto the fiver.

I never though about kicking up stones and such with the RV, I have only towed bikes when going out of state to pick up a new purchase. This is a good point if doing some real miles

That will destroy the trans on an HD.

A buddy of mine took one of the hitch mounted carriers like this:



and reworked it to make it more stable. He added two additional receivers to tied to the frame for more strength/stability. 3 slide in points now instead of one center mounted. Its worked well for him.
