[@MRWGL1800]

Great video - well demonstrated and explained - thanks!

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Thanks!!

[@scooterman4363]

Thanks for your detailed reply I really appreciated it. You have a cool looking F3 and trailer. That's what I would like to get for my wife and I because they are fun and safer for us and very relaxing to ride. Enjoyed your video, thanks.

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

You are very welcome. Best of luck with your Spyder search. We just got back from a 5 day 1300km tour with the bike and the trailer. The trailer as been a game changer for traveling. My wife loves having the extra room.

How high is the tip of the ball on the hitch from the ground? I checked Lugg & Roll website looking for that information as a requirement but couldn't find it. I'm considering fabricating a trailer hitch for my motorcycle and buying this trailer.

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Since this video we now have a different Spyder, 2021 RT LTD but I am sure there is no real difference in the height. From the floor to the top of the ball is 15" approx. Hope this helps you with your project.

awesome video

Nice setup, I see an RT in my future but until then I'm having a ball on my Ryker Rally.. Swaggy

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Thanks for your comment. I have not had a chance to ride the Ryker but they look like a blast.... enjoy!!!

[@JosephMullin]

Is that your safety chains hanging there? Isn't there a connection for those on the hitch?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Yes to both. I opted for safety cables over chains, quieter while riding. They connect to the hitch the same as on a regular car hitch. Thanks for you comment and your interest in the channel.

What oil are you using on your yearly changes? If memory serves, your had the RT Ltd, now the F3, which machine do you prefer having owned both? Like the trailer.

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

It was the other way around we had the F3 first and now the RT. We like the RT better overall it is a more comfortable ride especially for the passenger. I don’t do my oil changes any more but when I did I used the BRP XPS kit. I did a video on the whole process here is the link Can Am Spyder F3 Ltd. Winterizing, How we do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqOqiIudi5ilkKc Thanks for your comment.

[@billwilliams9527]

@@BikeBoatandTravel Many thanks, I sort of figured out after my comment that the F3 came first.

[@r.d.r7658]

just curious why do you prefer this trailer over brp trailer just curious

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

We liked the interior configuration of the trailer better. The wheels do not impinge on the inside space. Also, it was about $2,000 less than the BRP.

@@r.d.r7658 I wish!! After I did the assembly video and the test run video I sent them to the manufacturer and they sent me a very nice cover for the trailer. It is shown our "Gear Riview" video. Thanks for your comment and interest in my channel.

What is the cubic-feet of cargo space inside the lugg & roll trailer? Douglas

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

The trailer comes in two versions. The one you see in this video is 24 cubic feet. They sell one with a lower top cover that is 18 cubic feet. Thanks for your interest in the channel!! 👍🇨🇦

[@douglasradowick508]

@@BikeBoatandTravel I would be interested in the 24 cubic-foot version. I'm planning some cross country travel's, the price each one is? Any options? Thank-you for your time and help in achieving this goal! I'm 57 years old now, and, the "baby" of the family. They still treat me like I'm only 5 years old, that's why they're not allowed to know a thing about this trip and plans. Doug🤓

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Before you go to far on this trailer they are made in Quebec, Canada. To the best of my knowledge they ship from there only and there is no retail presence. I changed the safety chains for wires (quieter). I bought the tie down rings on the inside haven't used them (see video on this in the channel). I bought the stand for storage. I would recommend the carpet liner. All in (2020) mine was ~$3300CDN including about $400 shipping, prices have changed. Here is a link to their website, they are great folks to deal with luggandroll.com/motorcycle-trailer.html. Best of luck.

[@jeffreysims1865]

Does the trailer come with or have an option for a stone protection bra?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Not to the best of my knowledge. The Spyder trailer hitch does have an additional mud guard that should block a very high percentage of rock and debris from the back wheel. Thanks for your comment and for your interest in the channel.

[@jeffreysims1865]

@@BikeBoatandTravel have you scraped the mud guard yet going in or out of a driveway?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

@@jeffreysims1865 no I haven’t. The reason being that the mud flap that is attached to the trailer hitch follows the suspension of the rear wheel. It would have to be a very steep angle for it to hit.

[@scooterman4363]

I'm thinking about getting a spyder like yours. Do you have an F4 windshield ? Why didn't you choose an RT ? Would you recommend the F3 limited ? Thanks

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

I do have the F4 windshield. It made a real difference over the OEM one, especially for the passenger. There is video on the channels about that. F3 vs RT was more a fit issue for me. I am 6’ 4”, all leg, the F3 has adjustable driver foot boards that give me more leg room. I believe that the 2020 RT has that feature now.

[@billwilliams9527]

Where did you buy your Lugg and Roll, and why that compared to the BRP trailer?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

The Lugg and Roll Trailer was purchased directly from the manufacturer, Podium Trailer. They are located in Quebec (luggandroll.com/motorcycle-trailer.html). The short answer to why this one over the BRP was cost. The BRP Freedom Trailer in Canada would have been well over $5,000. This trailer with shipping all in was about $3200. Aside from that I did check it out with others that had purchased it in the past and the reviews were very positive and there was no difference in capacity. Thanks for you continued interest in the channel.

[@billwilliams9527]

Thanks much, like the Lugg and Roll, but the cost may be prohibitive coming from Canada to me in Florida. I know I won't be doing the BRP, again, cost prohibitive. Yes, I try and follow you, good ideas and presentation. Thanks again for the reply.

[@BenjaminJones-m8p]

Does the adaptor fit on the end of the F3 wire harness or the trailer pig tail harness, I have a 2016 F3 with the flat 4 pin connector and I cannot find the adaptor to connect the trailer to the bike at the moment?.

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

In my case the bike has a 4 pin square which is the standard connection that comes with the BRP trailer hitch. The trailer needs a 4 pin flat so I needed the adapter 4 pin male square at the bike end and standard 4 pin female flat at the trailer end. If the connector on your bike is 4 pin flat there would not be any issue unless you are getting a BRP trailer. Am I interpreting your question properly? if not let me know. I got my adapter from Spyder Extras. spyderextras.com/shop/details/104/SPYDER-EXTRAS-F3-RT-TRAILER-WIRE-ADAPTER-SF3RT-TWA Let m know if I be of further help.

[@JohnBraman413]

what's the speed rating of the trailer tires?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

I checked the side wall of the tire and it says "High Speed". There did not seem to be any other ratings other than load and pressure.

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

Hello, fellow Spyder owner and motovlogger here. Why did you go with the Lugg and Roll and not the official Can Am trailer?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

The short answer is cost. The BRP trailer in Canada with taxes was close to $5k vs $3k all in for the Lugg and Roll. The Lugg and Roll has a bit more room than the Freedom 24 vs 21 cubic feet. I am on a road trip at the moment and the performance of the trailer is very good. We have it fully loaded and I don’t even feel it back there. No vibration or movement even at highway speeds.

[@simpatisanpembelaakukinhol711]

Safe for high speed?

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

Very stable. We have taken it on major highways at more than 100 Km/h (60+MPH) and I don't feel or observe any issues. Although the primary market for this trailer is motorcycles, the company that manufactures it includes it behind small cars in their advertising also. Thanks for you comment and interest in our channel.
