Default Motorcycle Trailer: Port-a-Chopper review

Port-a-Chopper trailer report: I looked for a long time for a trailer to fit my needs... due to where I live, I can't store a trailer, so it had to be a knock-down type that I could store in my truck or in a corner of my garage. Did a lot of research. Ended up buying a Port-A-Chopper. Awesome solution. It knocks down into like 8 pieces and I can store it in the "way back" of my Suburban. Goes together (or comes apart) in just a few minutes. Loading and unloading the bike is a 1-person job - quick and easy. Design was very well thought-out. Used it on a 9-hr haul to Tail of the Dragon and it handled highway speeds great -- no problems of any kind. I thought it was a super quality trailer and seems like a 1-of-a-kind (the other take-down trailers I looked at weren't as rugged and/or didn't have suspension). It's worth a look if you're in the market for a trailer! Message me if you have any questions about this awesome little trailer!
- Nick
P.S. No, I don't know the owner, I don't own stock in the company, and have no reason to praise the Port-a-Chopper other than I really liked it a LOT to haul my Sporty! It seems RARE these days for me to buy something and actually be HAPPY with it! ;-)

Did the bike wobble much on the trailer while towing?

FYI here's a link to the company....

Phenomenally late response:
Nope, no wobble at all. It tows steady as a rock. I use cinch-straps to secure the front forks as well as the rear swingarm; I put a THICK strip ov velcro around the front tire and tire stop. The bike's rock solid while towing.
That original post was 2015. It's now 2023 and I'm still using my Port-a-Chopper. Since it stores knocked-down in the corner of the garage (out of the weather), it always looks like new when I pull it out, put it together, and tow with it. I'm still as impressed with it as I was in 2015! :-)
