Perro Del Diablo Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'm considering getting a trailer to pull my bike on longer trips. Does anyone have experience with aluma trailer. At about $3000 they are little expensive for just a motorcycle trailer but weight is around 600lbs plus my bike I could pull even with my old 6 cyl Chevy with no problem.

J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Weight savings compared to steel trailer of comparable size is likely no more than a few hundred pounds. I'd buy steel and save my money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy steel and save my money EXACTLY. i have a steel, single axle 3,000 lb.(axle) trailer that weighs about 900lbs empty, and has a load capacity of 2,000 lbs. Very highly versatile and will easily transport one or two bikes, or a ton of miscellaneous stuff to a new location or to the dump. Think about that. If you have a local trailer builder, he can help you out with custom features. Cost when I got it was easily less than $3,000. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
