Open Trailers for towing Spyders - what's the best suspension type? Experience, opinions, or are we just over-thinking this?

[NutinElse2do]

The crux of the OP's original post seems to center on trailer suspension. Kendon trailers provide torsion suspension, which is a nice feature. But frankly, not needed with a Spyder.

Consider this. Kendon started out providing trailers for 2 wheel bikes. With 2 wheel bikes, you can't afford much bouncing at all. It can lay your bike down or put it off the trailer altogether. So, suspension is very important in this application.

But the Spyder's 3 wheel platform is not going to be affected at all by bumps that would threaten 2 wheel bikes. It will, being properly secured, ride just fine as long as the trailer stays right side up.

Just my 2 cents. And the Kendon trailers are nice rigs. Just saying that what you're towing can make a big difference in the features needed.

I would like to thank everyone for their input, many things have been made clear with all the replies, and BajaRon's comments just put things in the proper light.

I will be searching for a Stinger and installing Shock Bolt Eyes, and possibly the bolts Knizar was talking about..

Again, thank you.

I'll bet it feels good to have a plan! Hope it works out for the best. I think it most likely will.

Hey, @NutinElse2do, have you decided on what Trailer you want?
I just wanted to know...

Yes with all the input, and me not overthinking every detail, we are going with the Stinger.
We need it to fold up, to store it at the house, and when we park our RV in small campgrounds, it will be easier to unload, and breakdown.
I think I was WAY overthinking this.

May look into that GEZA cover for when its on the trailer, but I have read so many point counterpoints we are going to let the brain rest for now.

Going to figure out some kind of removable rock guard for the Stinger, but need to sit and stare at it for many hours then probably over think and over engineer that too

Do not put a cover on your Spyder. It will flap in the wind and destroy the finish in a hurry.

Put the rock guard on the RV. It will hang down to almost the ground off the rear bumper. Check out some other RVs, you'll see quite a few of them that pull trailers. Good luck. And YES, on not using a cover while towing the Spyder!

Don't have a cover on your Spyder
while it is be towed on an open style trailer.

Why ??
You will see .
