The trailer came in handy a few times, got a flat just past Winchester on a group ride, rode B$$tch on the bac of a friends bike, grabbed the truck and trailer and picked up the bike.

Would have cost $ 200 plus for a tow, been there done that.

My bikes never go back to the dealer for service, but I have a recall on the VFR I have been putting off the dealer I like and trust is near Hoodbridge VA, it's a long cold ride in the Winter.

I don't remember, smallish one?

1 and 3/4?

I bought the trailer as a kit from the back of Cycleworld for around $300.00, a little hassle to get tagged but GTG after that.

Yes,

Maybe check a few major bolts with a torque wrench, never found a loose one but can't hurt.

That's what the dealer is supposed to do, they don't
