I was wondering if anyone had any experience towing a bike with the Motorcycle Caddy? I don't have the room for or money for a full trailer.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the sportster transmission will receive any oil without the engine running. If you are talking about the caddy that just holds the front wheel. :(

$535.00 plus handling and ground shipping seems kinda high to me. Around my area, for a couple of hundred bucks more you can get a nice 4x8 utility trailer that can do more than just haul a bike. If I was you, I'd try to find the room to store a trailer when you're not using it.

¿Any experience with the Motorcycle Caddy? To be honest, I've been to Trailer Week a ton of times and I've never seen anyone using a Motorcycle Caddy.

I got a 4x8 utility trailer with a ramp and spare tire, last year for $ 750.00.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the sportster transmission will receive any oil without the engine running. If you are talking about the caddy that just holds the front wheel. :(This was my first thought too. But there is no oil pump in the primary or transmission, so I don't see why it wouldn't get oil? That said I don't think I'd risk it though. U-Haul rents trailers that will carry your bike very nicely.

here is a lot cheaper way to go. you have to buy the wheels seperatly and wood for the base but the wheels are only $20.00 each.

or they have this one for around the same price as that caddy

A friend of mine has the first one, he has been using it for years, for all kinds of stuff...

For $1195.99 you can get a Trailer in a Bag (http://www.trailerinabag.com).

Or better yet, you could build sump'tin as simple as this cheaper.
