I have a 1999 Honda GL1500C Valkyrie Trike Lehman

and am wondering if I can tow it with rear wheels on the ground?

Thanks

If I'm gonna tow it with the front wheel raised on a hitch ...

... if going just a mile I might not pull the driveshaft ...

... but ...


... if I'm towing to Omaha, I'm puling the shaft out first. Easy to do with that trike. Once out, run heavy twine or thick zip tie through front U-joint to rear yoke, collapse the spring on the shaft, secure it and tape around the rear U-joint cups to keep them in place until I get to Omaha. I'm also wrapping the leading edges like fenders ... with at least multi layers of static cling wrap, several x multi layers. I'm also in either case, wiring in tail/stop lamps or using extended harness from tow vehicle to trike trailer connector to feed the trail/stop lights, etc.
