Frequently asked questions
Can a motorcycle go on a standard car carrier?
Only if the carrier has approved motorcycle equipment and securement. Do not assume a vehicle trailer is suitable.
Should saddlebags stay attached?
Ask the carrier. Loose or oversized accessories may need to be removed and packed separately.
