Aluma trailers are really high quality, you can't go wrong with one. You might want to look at other Aluma models also. When I was in the market, instead of a motorcycle specific trailer I bought an Aluma single axle heavy duty utility trailer about 2 yrs ago. I got the optional side and front panels that are about 3 feet high.
The front is solid so it protects stuff like the TK1 does, and the sides are great to tie fuel and secure stuff like charcoal, portable generator etc. The ramp is super HD. Freewheeler fits great and the trailer is really versatile. In fact it's loaded right now with a DR and DRZ. We're headed out tomorrow a.m. to Rawlins WY. Will jump on the Continental Divide Route to Canada and back down the Idaho Backroad Discovery Route.
Casper, just google Aluma or Alumaklm trailer dealers and you will find a bunch of them. I bought an Aluma TK1 2017 model last November and I am in the process of getting it like I want it. Looks like I am going to use a Condor PS1500 chock and mount up front, the two tie down rings up front and cross the two rear ties on the back tie downs. I am going to use soft padded ties over the fender nut area up front back to the front tie down rings. I will just get those good and snug (not tight as hell) and do the rears crossed and snugged up.
This way the suspension is all free to move but all three wheels will stay on the trailer. Got a spare tire mount that will mount the spare on the tongue vertically just in front of the tool box/screen. I will adjust the front chock to a point where I can get about 180 to 200 lbs of tongue weight. The trailer weighs 520 lbs and my 16 Tri Glide will be around 1200 to 1300, for a total weight of 1820-1900 lbs. I got a good buy last November on a new 2017 TK1 for $2,200.00 including a new spare tire and matching rim.
If I was going with a trailer I would be putting in a wheeldock chock, push a lever and just back out, with other ones you have to jerk a little for the 2 wheelers and if a trike just put it reverse but if reverse goes out, it will take a mighty strong man to get it out of the chock, that is why I would go with a wheeldock chock, I have a friend that has it for his trike and he loves it. I know I'm not that strong to do it by myself with a bad back and so so shoulder.
Just a thought is all, by the way only $225 for a wheeldock, just went there and looked and they have other accesories that might come in handy for some.
