So I'm in the market for a trailer for the bike and thought I would see what tid bits of advice you guys had to offer. I've done a lot of looking around but I keep waffling between what I want versus what I need versus what I don't fully understand. I have a few questions to ask, but mostly I'd just like some thoughts and opinions from you guys. Here's my current chain of thoughts on the topic feel free to comment on any or none of these points:
- The trailer needs to be big enough for the FZ, 4x6 would just barely fit.
- On the other hand it would be nice to have a 5x8 for when I get another bike in the future or if a friend wants to come along.
- Can't be too big, I've only got a Class I hitch (2000lb max), and I'm pulling it with my Altima (3.5 v6, no wimpy 4cylinder)
- Not too confident in the steel mesh flooring, how do you mount hardware securely? Wouldn't the bike sag through?
- I could always rip the mesh out and install wood, but that just seems a waste.
- Diamond plate, is it worth it? Wouldn't it slippery?
- This thing is going to be most heavily used on long highway trips, 12in wheels seem way to small for this. I'd burn out the bearings in a couple trips, right?
- Should I just spend the extra money and get an el Camino instead?
- What haven't I thought of?
