[senecak19]

Just saw Lowes.com advertising 5x8 trailers with ramp gate for $528. 24% off or something like that... figured I'd share.

[Eddie]

Thanks...I'm kind eye balling one by HF.

[Eddie]

Ohh...yeahh...and Lowes used to have a 10 or 20% off coupon in the usps mover's guide as well.

I need to get something this season. Maybe I shld swing up and see that they've got. Appreciate the heads up.

[senecak19]

Yeah they do!!! I just used one on a $575 order and saved $57.50.

Hey fellas, just to give you a heads up I just bought this 4x8 trailer at harbor freight:

Comes out to less than 250 if you have a 20% off coupon

[Eddie]

You can also pickup: safety wire supplies, a wheel shock for the trailer, cheap stands, etc when you are up there

[Chippertheripper]

That safety wire is too heavy. Useable, but unnecessarily tough.

Thanks for the heads up. I havent tried the wire yet. I also picked up a box of safety clips, which is kind of nice so that you dont hqve to break your wire every time you need to acess that one bolt or say...the oil cap

I should've listened to you Chipper...that wire is a bitch to work with. Is there a local place where I can get some decent safety wire?

That's not what the reviews I read said. Some people had them for over a decade and loves them. I'll post a review as soon as I get it registered.

I have helped put one together. They flex a lot with two bikes on them. Dont get me wrong they work and will work fine but if I was going to buy a trailer that wouldnt be my first choice. The brake light kit is insufficient and the steel is very light.

I actually gave mine to my mechanic shop, which I thin was a great idea. I just figure that they can probably do it at a fraction of the time that I would spend putting it together.

I suppose that it is perfect for my 350-400 pounds bike:

Mine has shit the bed after 3 years of use. The fenders both broke off within a few months. The lighting worked intermittently at best. It also towed like crap and would shimmy. I never trusted it to take it further then Loudon. On a good note: the 12 inch tires held up great.

i have one...I only use it to tow my own bike, never two at a time. tows great, folds up...long run durability...meh, I will be happy to get two years out of it I only paid 220 bucks plus a piece of plywood for it.

works well with my pitbull TRS and I didn't notice much of a gas mileage difference. Drove all the way from Long Island to Danbury to Bellingham last weekend and use 16 of 21 gallons in my xterra. that's a 260 mile trip / 16 = 16.25 miles per gallon....I'll take it considering the truck usually get's like 18 nowadays on the highway

Thanks for the positive feedback. I suppose that I would be happy to get 2-3 years out of mine as well.

ask Pete, he had his for a good couple years, mine at one time was something like that, but it has been modified too many times, you gonna be just fine with one bike, I've seen people transport 2 bikes with no problem

Thanks for shimming in Radu. I did think that you had one of those.

I might order one. What's the registration costs for a trailer?

Actually, you might want to call your local HF and make sure they have it in stock. Shipping will cost you an additional +/-$105.

I've had mine since 2008 (I bought it already a year or two old then), and towed two bikes all last season without an issue. Does it flex? Sure, slightly...but it's not going to twist like a stand of DNA. Plus my ramp acts as a brace:

$20/year per 1000lbs.

You've got an awesome setup.
