Dedicated track bike I presume then?

I haven’t taken it out in years, but as I recall it’s not that bad.

What days and times are you available this week?

I’ve taken off the body work plenty (unfortunately) so I can definitely help out a bit.

From what I recall you have to take out all the surrounding small pins on the tail fairing and slide it off, then there will be two horizontal bolts holding in the top of the taillight with rubber grommets around it. I’ve also believe I’ve lost a grommet or two from mine :lol

What is the tow rating for Elantra?

Initially I was going to get a trailer with a tail ramp, but the one that harbour freight sells is too short…

where did you get that trailer? I want to put a tow hitch on the Golf for that exact reason… towing just the bike (doubt it could tow anything else… lol). Thats a perfect size trailer.

It’s a 40x48 trailer I got at harbor freight. Got it on sale for $179.

If you ever got one, DO NOT ground the tail lights thru the frame…🤣rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

The tow rating for the Elantra was something rediculous like 3200 pounds with trailer brakes according to [Edmunds.com](http://Edmunds.com).

It towed the quad around just fine the few times I did it.

I believe the trailer is the same one Harbor Freight sells but I bought it used. Me and my brother put all the wood on it- the ramp is homemade out of 1x10’s with bracing on the back/bottom and triangular hingles.
