"Training wheels" to tow a motorcycle?

[MThomas]

Is there a set of wide-stance training wheels that can be attached to a motorcycle for towing since I feel that'll be more stable than the tows that I see propping up the front wheel and then balancing the bike with straps

[peels]

no, never seen that before.


just the front wheel cradles, is all iv'e seen. Suppose you could probably stick one on the back too?

Give this idea up ! At best it's unsafe .

Buy something like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive ... 62648.html

Or rent a U-Haul trailer if the need is one-time or short-time.

FWIW I'm considering my trailer options for trackdays this season with S1000R.

I'd consider the front wheel cradles to be unsafe when turning since the only thing balancing the bike are the side borders that only rise up about 1/3 of the way onto the wheel.
The folding trailer is too expensive and the harbor freight is too big (to store at home) and I can't fit it in the car when I drop it off at the shop and ride back on the bike.

It can be done, the question is how did he secure it:

Many years ago I bought one of those front wheel cradles. Over the course of about 100 miles it bent from the weight of the bike until it was dragging in the road. Had to rent a U-haul.

Looks like he removed the front wheel and put the front fork in the boot of the car.

How about https://youtu.be/i2q1cA-67w0
Looks pretty steady.
