Both Gavo and I have Ali-Lite trailers. The black looks good. I've noticed that the silver shows scratches easy.
:blu13
-
Its actually black
Must be the metalic paint that looks like it matches the bike
-
Looks good anyway..where is Marcus with his black ST13 when you need him :thumb
I have not come up to speed with trailer stuff so about time I learnt.. do they come in white :wht11
-
It looks awesome :eek
-
Just out of curiosity whats it like to ride with a trailer on the back? How does it effect the dynamics of the bike?

Ya gotta take it easier for sure & pick your moments when overtaking but mostly it's ok when loaded right
-
Thanks Scrap.
How do you find it when going through the twisty stuff?

It should be where you left it, hanging off the back of the bike...

Thanks mate

If the trailer is loaded right and once you're under way the trailer is hardley noticable. If I need to overtake anything larger than a HR truck then down to 4th for the extra performance.
Sure the extra weight with/without pillion will effect performance like any car etc. Your cornering line will be somewhat more conservative as your in tour mode rather than sport mode. Fuel economy will suffer especially at speeds in excess of the 90-100kmh range.

Sorry John,
The white trailer I saw on the back of my back must have been in my imagination when you passed me on the way to the border..........lol
Some trailer firms will custom paint to your bikes colour.

:dred11 when i first rode with the trailer behind me i was a bit worried but i hardly even knew it was there :thumbs the first time i took the bike up to 140km to see what it was going to do & was suprised at how well it sat behind the bike. i found as well that you just had to adjust your riding to suit.on the trip away to the rally it was so good i nearly forgot it was there :grin but you get pulled up when you clip roundabouts :eek i think maybe tyres will wear out quicker ?? cheers all. :hatwave

Hi Gents thought I'd post some pics of my Bandicoot Behind the ST1300 and Wee STrom. :thumbsup Tows great behind either bike.

I think i got two leafs from memory not home now at work

Here's my bike and trailer.. yeah I know it's not colour matched, but who gives a...

This was before the single seat conversion obviously...
-
hey Bear, doesn't it look like a giant brake light from the rear... :p
-
Well it's not easy to miss!! I havr thought of colour matching but in reverse.. major colour grey (to match the ST trim) and highlights in gold. I don't think that if I painted it all gold I could cope.. waaayyyy too much !!!!!
-
Go black like your seat and trim
-
Trim is actually a dark grey, that's the colour I am thinking of. The nearest match I can find is a dark grey Toyota colour so if I paint it at least I will have a colour to go with.
