Re: Motorcycle Front Wheel Trailers
And takes up much less space. If i could justify the cost of a collapsible trailer id buy one, but i can't and i don't have the space for even a single bike trailer, so one of these would be ideal for the occasional track day i do.
Especially as id need one that works with a swan neck towbar, thanks Grinch

Re: Motorcycle Front Wheel Trailers
I've looked at these but I'm worried about tyre wear, especially on a track bike where you're running soft rubber. Although at 50 mph with no power through it the wear would be a lot less than when you're riding it.

Re: Motorcycle Front Wheel Trailers
Buy a spare rear wheel with some normal rubber, seems a bit of overkill maybe but it would work.

Clearly it's still moving and exposed to road crap though, and a scottoiler won't work due to no vacuum. The gearbox is at the back of the engine anyway, the oil tipping back will help it get lubed by splash effect I would suspect. Yes extra stress on head bearings, but no more than hard, bumpy braking would stress them.
