Am looking at an Aluma single place trailer, am wondering if anyone has pulled a F6B or Valkyrie Interstate on one. Just wondering if the wheels are far enough apart for that heavy a bike.
I also like the 2 place, but the single is $500 less.

Thanks, Marty

Pretty sure it will work guessing width inside is 5 feet correct for the aluma trailer?

I bought a triton wooden deck trailer instead since aluma has I believe aluminum decking making it more slippery when wet especially, but if tied down properly, either wood or aluminum decking should work.

I just find loading my ATV's that a wooden deck is less slippery than aluminum less apt to slide around.

Which one? The MC10 is one of the favored trailers on the gl1800 board.

Ought to take a look at Chariot trailers, I've had their single cycle sled 9 since '95 and it pulls great. Used it for my Wing until I got the Valk so you know it will more than handle an I/S or larger. Mine weighs about 425 and pulls at highway speed(65-70) like it isn't there. Loads like a dream, just ride the bike on using the trailer wide ramp. Run the front wheel into the built in chock and let it kill the motor. Before loading, I always pull the side covers off the bike and position the side tie downs so I can reach them, then ride it on to the trailer and hook them to the frame. I can load/unload by myself, I prefer to have it hooked up to the car first....more stable.

A Valkyrie, F6B and a full size Wing will fit perfectly. Strongly recommend an LA chock and then the loading procedure is a one man operation.  cooldude

I also have a MC10 and have put my Valk and the Wing on it on different occasions and have had no problems
