Trailer, small foot print? - HikerToo_imp - 01-28-2014
I was thinking about buying a smallish motorcycle trailer to carry one CB1100 behind our Murano when we go on driving vacations, saw this "Stinger" model, anyone have any thought on it or other choices out there? For me, the less space it takes in my garage or driveway when not in use is a major consideration. I also wonder if something this small requires brake and running lights...

According to that site, the trailer is discontinued.

Lot's of people seem to like the Kendon. I know a couple of guys who have them, and they rave about them. A nice feature is that when not in use, they stand straight up!

I have a snowmobile trailer and an enclosed trailer, however, if I didn't have either, I would seriously consider one of the Kendon's.

No way would I tow with 8" tires. I also wouldn't ride my bike up a 30" ramp (very short but it's low so it's not very steep) and try and stop with my feet on top of the trailer tires lol
The Kendon is a great trailer just a little pricey. Probably worth it in HikerToo's situation.

I built a folding trailer from harbor freight and thought abut setting it up to tow my motorcycle. But decided not to use a $250 trailer to tow a $11k bike. I may look into a quality motorcycle trailer after seeing these. I just need somewhere to put it.

Uh, just about any trailer is going to be much cheaper than your bike.....
A buddy has an aluminum trailer for his bike. I towed to Tucson and back; soo much nicer than the U-Tank I normally use. I offered to buy it; he say's everyone does that.
I think it's the one in the first link.http://www.alumaklm.com/motorcycle-trailers.html

How about a trailer in a bag?

I have one and it packs away pretty good if you are limited on storage space.

Hypnotoad..do you really have one of those? Ever use it? What size bike did you tow with it? How far? Pretty cool except I still don't like the little wheels.

I have a friend who has been using one of these for years. He loves it, tows it from FL up north with his Road King loaded and hasn't had any problems.
Its not cheap, but they are easy to load and then break down and store in the garage or a big trunk when its mot in use.
