We are gonna get one really soon, the wife dont know it yet.......Why not make a weekend out of it and go to Georgia for your trailer?
$2698 for that 6x15 v-nose....
And yes you can get two bikes in a 6x12 as mentioned above.
If you can swing the tandem axle, it is a better trailer. Better payload capacity, less bouncing going down the road, and you will see better tracking behind the tow vehicle. But, I could not swing the 4k for a 7x14 and I wanted to get something that would meet my needs. The 6x12 looks like it will, but I still have to outfit the trailer for my set up. With that said, there are a great number of people who use the single axle trailers with no issues. Buy the biggest you can afford and you should be fine. Hope that helps.
Do a search for TrailerGiant.com, really good prices, but too far for me.We are gonna get one really soon, the wife dont know it yet.......Why not make a weekend out of it and go to Georgia for your trailer?

So, a little more about this place in Georgia?
One light?
You can get a tan in your trailer, if not a sunburn!One light?You can never have enough light !
Omslaw says you can get a tan in my trailer!
I never thought about putting the bike on the rear stand then straping her down. I was worried about the stress it may place on the spindle bolts. Cool deal, I may try that.
I've had a lot of people question that particular tie- down setup~ With the front in the chocks and then the rear on the stands, the bike(s) don't shift, shake, or shimmy at all~ The wieght is not an issue.. it's no different then havin your bike on the stands in the garage~ The swingarm still flows freely and then there's the added spring support of the trailer itself~ I've also got them set to stradle the trailer axel evenly and just far enough in that once you close the ramp, even without a tie down holdin the wheel to the stand, the stand can't pop up~ It can't move forward in the chock... and it can't pop off the stand with the tie down in place~ I put both bikes in there like that and then climbed into the front of the trailer, from the side entrance, and rocked the heck out of the trailer enough to simulate a ride down a hillside... less a roll over~ Niether bike touched each other or the side walls of the trailer.... Solid~ We've takin it to the Busa Bash, from Florida to Robbinsville, NC like this twice now without incident~ Works great and makes for quick loading and unloading~Good catch. My question is the weight of the bike and the force of the tie down is on the spindle bolt, do you trust that for long trips. I ask because I have thought about the same things. Front stand, rear stand, then tied down, it couldnt go anyhere.AM -->
Nice set up GJoker !!!GJoker @ Feb. 01 2008 said:
I am going to get a trailer as well, and have a question... I see in the pic you have one of the Busa's on a rear stand and then tied down. Do you think that is more stable than just tying it down on it's tire ?? Looks like it might be more stable on the stand... Hmmmm You got me thinkin' !!!!!
Anyway, we did purchase a 6x12 this evening, but its too dark for pics, will take some tomorrow in the daylight. I am stoked, cant wait to outfit it now. My wife says I am spoiled, oh boy, wait till I get to painting the floor with non-skid and installing the lights, tie downs, chocks, etc!
Good idea. Just a hint, found out tonight the painters tape does not stick to the non skid at all!
yeah , yeah what he said!
No Hal, I did not caulk. The plywood joints were already flush to each other, didnt have a place for caulk. And the brand was American Tradition Non Skid, water base, not oil. I used the same paint on my 18' trailer, and it has lasted several years of abuse in the weather, so I didnt want to use the oil base. What are you thinking?
