Hey everyone !! I want to start hauling a little trailer for my trips...i have a 2018 super ten...anybody knows about a hitch that goes one there??
Nice rig! How's that setup feel on a pretty windy day... Say 30+mph?There are indeed a few of us who tow and as with most things, the search box is your friend for finding threads on the subject.
I tow a MiniMate camper and the bike tows up into the low 300 pound area with little problem - more than that means the ABS goes off a lot when slowing.
Where does your tow bar hookup to?? Your drive shaft??Towed with 2013 S10 and Now 2022 S10.
I use a Classic tow bar from Australia - However they no long exist.View attachment 97353
The lower mounts go to the threaded holes behind the pillion pegs.Where does your tow bar hookup to?? Your drive shaft??
You have a closeup picture?? I realy like the idea...!!!The lower mounts go to the threaded holes behind the pillion pegs.
The upper mounts go to the in my case the rear pannier mount bolts or the rear pillion handle bolts.
The top mounts are same as the photos above.You have a closeup picture?? I realy like the idea...!!!
Nope if packed properly you don't know it's there most of the time. Just slower for accelerating or braking.how the fuck do you guys ride a bike with a trailer? slowly i suppose?
If the front is lighter you have too much tow ball weight.interesting. particularly under brakes. is the front lighter? does it push you into corners?
Travel and site seeing with trailer and leave the trailer somewhere for cornering curves !!Nope if packed properly you don't know it's there most of the time. Just slower for accelerating or braking.
Zero issuesNice rig! How's that setup feel on a pretty windy day... Say 30+mph?
A metal block moves the footpads out about 1.5" each and the drag bar is welded to the back of it.Thanks checkswrecks !! So ill have to build my own haha...btw where does the front part attache to??
I once had the trailer up to 90 mph as a test and many times on gravel, although at more reasonable speeds.how the fuck do you guys ride a bike with a trailer? slowly i suppose?
You always want around 10-20% of the trailer to be on the hitch, so for a max 350 pound trailer there is only about 35-70 lbs back there. Far less than a passenger and around what you'd carry in panniers for a long trip. Usually I never notice it and the ride is almost unchanged from just me.interesting. particularly under brakes. is the front lighter? does it push you into corners?
