'Undertaker Motorcycle trailer' ?

jalaan1 · 08-22-2009, 06:01 PM

first off, hope this isn't a repost.....

any of you guys ever heard, seen or first hand knowledge of this product?

looks pretty interesting, except for the fact of added wear on rear tire,
especially for limited storage of a full/conventional trailer.

fuck that. rear tires go fast enough... and don't need the extra wear on my sprocket and chain either... (granted with them not producing the power it's not as drastic... but still some wear and tear)

hear ya,
didn't even think about chain & sprockets.

Constant Mesh Transmission....

This is not a new idea by any means. I've seen this type of trailering solution since the 80s and it may be older than that! The problem has been the CMT and the fact that your tranny is spinning without the oil being pumped by the engine to keep it cool and lubricated. I am not an expert by any means but this is what has been explained to me in the past. You're best bet in this situation is to break your chain and bring a $4 master link and tools with you wherever you are going if you must transport this way. FWIW I saw an ad for a 4X6 beaver tail trailer for $359 a few weeks ago...

Must be for the Harley guys to rack up miles from the comfort of their trucks.

Even Harley guys know the speedo is attached to the FRONT wheel.

I would rather toss my bike into the back of gutted out 1989 Ford Festiva paint painted fluorescent pink with bull horns mad out of stale marshmallows affixed to the front hood while wearing a diaper.

Mainly because it was so much fun the first time around
