Mine's not going to have any wood on it. I will be installing a Condor wheel chock, and an aluminum channel directly to the cross members. My concern about deterioration is only concerning metal corrosion. Maybe a tarp under and one over the top?

I could also keep the trailer covered with a water proof tarp (it will be kept outside). That would stave off corrosion longer...

The new one would be way too heavy for my application...I need a total empty trailer weight of 300 lbs or less...

This is the trailer I referenced in my last post. How is the sturdiness of this this trailer? I like the fact it's aluminum for being corrosion resistant, but I worry it might not be as sturdy as the steel ones. TSC actually has some that are galvanized, but I have no idea how well they hold up...

I just checked TSC and Northern Tool. Northern Tool has one that's all aluminum (except for the axle) with an empty weight of less than 200 lbs. What I like about their trailers is they give both the GVWR, and its actual load carrying capacity. This particular trailer can haul 1100 lbs, and...

FWIW, the Trailer in a Bag I used to have came with 8" tires, and I upgraded to 12" tires. I towed my bikes on that thing for 10s of thousands of miles at speeds up to 70-75 MPH and never had a flat, or any kind of tire problem. The 12s lasted much longer than 8s as well. The problem with going...

Unfortunately, trailers of this type are way too heavy to pull behind my Corolla...

I've been looking at trailers to use for hauling my motorcycles (mainly just one of them). I'll be hauling it with my Corolla, so I'm looking at very light weight trailers. The car is only rated for towing a max weight of 1000 lbs. I have towed bikes behind this vehicle before (bikes weighing up...

I'd be willing to bet that plugged tires fail no more often than tires that haven't been plugged...

The Marine 360 is really not necessary...regular (red) Sta-Bil works just fine...

I will never believe this...

Smart man. Densos are good too, but every NGK I've had lasts a long time. I've gotten over 100K on a non-iridium set more than once...

If this post is meant to be comical, it is. Insurance companies are nothing but profit...

I've got a better question. Why would anyone buy any other brand of plug than NGK?

I don't do fleastone places...

That's not what Spyder owners say on the forum. They said the twins weren't reliable, but the triples are...

The older models with the twins were not reliable. The newer ones with the 1330 triple are. The one I rode turned a pretty low RPM in 6th gear. 60 mph was just 3K RPM. 80 MPH was right around 4K. These things can easily do highway speeds all day long...

There really is no leaning on a Spyder. Leaning into it to help stay on the machine, yes, but no leaning like on a a two wheeler. The Spyder tracks like it's on rails...

In my previous post I said I rode an F3 Touring, it was actually an F3 Limited. That appears to be the model for me...

I didn't realize Yuasa batteries were AGMs...I thought they were lead acid...
