I’m looking to pull a trailer with my busa.Rent A U-hual motorcycle trailor. I think it cost me $30.
Buy some straps and Canyon Dancers.
If you want to go all out, try something like this. No straps on the bike and there's no way that bike will tip over but it weighs a ton. Costs about $300 + trailer restraint system. I built it, I like it. I just have to attach a skid strip on the end because lifting that sucker by myself is insane. Drop on foot and your screwed. I drag it now.
Pit Bull Trailer Restraint Platform for U-Haul Trailer | Maintenance and Do-It-Yourself
Pit Bull Trailer Restraint Platform In U-Haul Motorcycle Trailer The Pit Bull Trailer Restraint does an excellent job of holding the bike secure without compressing the suspension with straps or having tie-downs touching the bike anywhere. My only gripe is that the trailer restraint has wheels...www.hayabusa.org
That was clear to me. And when you said what you wanted to fill the trailer with. That made me think of Drag Week right away...
No beavers allowedCouldn’t you get a bigger license plate for that trailer?What’s that red circle sign prohibiting?
I say it can be done but you gonna need to upgrade your brake pads. Stocks wont save ya at those levels of total bike and trailer weight.
The province of Nova Scotia just has one size plate for trailers, regardless of the type of tow vehicle.Couldn’t you get a bigger license plate for that trailer?
Pulling 300lbs plus the weight of the trailer I would want brakes on the trailer. The added weight does not increase traction on the motorcycle tire like adding a passenger does.
My brother loads his BMW up along with himself and his gal on board with the trailer full and he has zero problems stopping and going...
I think the brakes on a GenII with SS lines/HH pads would do the job at 50-60 MPH just fine. 350 in the trailer is going to push you forward and around. The brakes will cook more than usual,and yer clutch is gonna take a beating too.
You said something I didn’t think of. 2 wheel trailer is going to track. I will have to find away to make a 1 wheeled trailer work. With drag week time isn’t unlimited so having an extra wheel with a slick would make life easier. Just a simple wheel swap and make a pass. I could deal with no fan and power source. But still need tools and such and my gear. Next month I will try and build the trailer and hopefully come spring the bike will be down and I can test it going to the track.
Ya BK it's going to track and be a huge wind catch. It'll be like pulling a sail. With just the hardbags on my bike,I get blown around real good. The thing is going to be a nightmare with the giant topbox and bags. I think I'd prefere it to pulling any trailer though. Have you considered the bags/trunk option? You could strap a wheel down to your passenger seat leaned up against a topbox. Just offering up idea's. Looks like the single wheel would be the way to go over a 2. Ken, @kml is a smart guy and a real straight shooter,I'd be bouncing questions off him regarding his opinion/experiences hauling a trailer.
OH You want to use your busa to pull a trailer not pull a trailer with your busa in it. I'd like to see someone use a busa to pull a trailer with another busa in it.
