Hey, are there any single mc trailers out there that have suspension?  I have use of a nice double ramp free trailer from my (Valkyrie owner) bro-in law at anytime however I might like to just have my own trailer again.   Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Don't we really want suspension?


Oh and to Meathead -- thank you for the complement and sorry I want to keep the euro badges.   If I find a set for sale I will pm you however, euro badges require a cosigner these days.

Jerry, are you talking about a trailer to tow behind the bike, or one to carry the bike?  In either case, it should have some sort of sprung suspension....preferably the torsion bar type.

This would be a light duty trailer since it's just a single bike trailer.  Typical leaf spring trailers are cheap to have and easily find. 

If you're planning on using it often, I would definitely go for the torsion bar suspension as mentioned above.  Also, if using often, I would go for at least 15" rims.  Taller tires roll more smoothly.

So many colors to choose from yet so few stand out

I recently built a trailer to put my bike, mower or other crap on.   It was a pop up camper with torsion bar suspension.   Now, it's a flat bed, tread plate covered trailer with a pull out ramp.    Can handle two Valkyries but, haven't needed to use it for that yet.   Rides like a dream and if you're not paying attention, you'll forget it's back there.
