I ran 80 - 90 with my GSXR in my HR trailer back from the Gap. Just make sure to pack and repack the bearings. The crap that comes in the bearings is only meant for shipping.

i did a harbor freight trailer, they do bolt together, i ended up bolting and welding it together. when you assemble the trailer, the bearings will be in the hubs, but they have hardly any grease in them. thats what alot of people don't check, and thats why the bearings fail so soon. so when you get it, pull the bearings and pack with good grease. no need for bearing buddies. buy and extra wheel/tire from HF as well as a back up, they are cheap. you can also buy a full set of backup bearings from redtrailers.com they are 25mmx52mm taper bearing add a HF wheel chock on top of a plywood deck and your good to go, i hauled my multistrada to colorado and back, i used it to haul 2 bikes to deals gap and back, 2 bikes to florida and back, and my buddy used it to haul 2 bikes to the gap and back as well. i used it quite a few times hauling my bike to the track too. bearings only got warm, not hot. in the time i owned it i didn't have to regrease the bearings. i had no issues with the trailer at all. i had ran 80 MPH with it and again no issues. i just checked with my hand to feel how warm the hubs were getting to make sure any time i stopped. good little trailer for the money. JUST REMEMBER TO PULL AND PACK THE BEARINGS WHEN PUTTING IT TOGETHER

I can't get past the bearing and small wheel bullshit. I've had 5 different trailers and refuse to run less than 14" wheels. 4 of the 5 have made GAP trips where 80-85mph was an avg speed and never has a problem Granted I'll be the first to tell you I'm paranoid for not much reason but it's helped keep me from issues

This bearing fear because the tires are smaller and spins faster is bullshit. Make sure it's grease packed "properly" with quality grease. Bearing buddies are great but have nothing to do with properly packing a bearing.

Well, I'm not quite sure how to say this, but I'm out. I can't go. Why you ask? Well, I could tell you all kinds of things like I'll be out of town for work. I could tell you I can't get the vacation days. I could tell you I have to wash my hair that weekend. Maybe aliens are planning to invade our planet that same week and only I know. How about I've ran out of clean clothes and don't feel like doing laundry? Or how about we're having another baby and it's due that week? You pick which reason you think is true.

Phil is a touring stud. Just wish I had the time to get out like he does.
