WTB: Trailer ***GOT ONE***

SouthBayGixxer · 04-11-2005, 09:24 PM

I'm moving back to Seattle and am looking for something to tow my Gixxer up there. I was considering heading down to Harbor Freight to pickup one of their 4x8 trailers, but thought I'd post this first to see if anybody had something they wanted to get rid of. I'd be towing it with a Toyota Tacoma V6. Ordinarily, I would just throw the bike in the bed, but I've got a canopy and two dogs that are claiming that space. :thumbup

I use one of those, and it works fine after you put a sheet of plywood on it. I also took an aluminum dirtbike ramp, and use it as a track right up the middle of it. :thumbup

Uhaul one way rental?

Already checked there. The only trailers they rent one-way are the fully-enclosed ones (no tie-downs) and the car dollys. Even if they did rent the right kind, I wouldn't want to see their pricing. They want $239 just to rent the car dolly one-way!!! :yikes

I have one of the light trailers that they sell as a kit. The rails are a little narrow but I've widened it with a hammer and it fits a 180 just fine now (the loading ramp is still a little narrow but loads easy enough). It was sold as a 2 rail/bike but it's a little small for 2 street bikes and I currently have it set up as a 1 rail/bike (the extra rail would take 5 minutes to install if you wanted to carry 2 dirt bikes or sell later as a 2 dirt bike trailer).

It cost 450 with the extra spare tire (included to you) and took 10 hours to put together but since I'm moving soon and don't need it anymore I'll sell it cheap. How does 200 sound?? I can e-mail pictures tomarrow when I'm at home or you can stop by my place in redlands to check it out if you're interrested. Where are you??

It tows like nothing is there, title is in hand, and all the lights are good. Pulled it 3 times to Willow so maybe ~600 miles on it.

That price sounds great! If you could get some pics posted up, I would appreciate it. I'm in Torrance, so you're a bit far from me, but maybe we could work something out.

I'll get them out to you some time tomarrow.

Got an email address as I sometimes have trouble posting pics here due to size limits.

Sure...send them to jstefanski600@yahoo.com. Thanks!

apexismaximus · 04-13-2005, 09:37 AM

Sorry, wife's out of town and it turns out she took the camera. Might be able to send pics by next wednesday.

Wanna come see it??

SouthBayGixxer · 04-13-2005, 10:03 AM

That will be too late. We're moving this Sunday and I don't think I'll have time to drive out there now. Thanks anyway!
