Can am Spyder
Is anyone hauling a Can am Spyder in a momentum? What size garage and any particular issues to watch out for?

We have a 394M that we haul 2 Can Am Spyders in. I drive in the F3 to the left side and pull the rear wheel over towards the wall by hand. We back the RTS in next to it on the right side. I tie down the back wheels and the inside front wheels with 2 ratchet straps on each so they do not move. We have done this for 2 years and towed about 3,000 miles with the Spyders. We do raise the front of the trailer up to reduce the angle of the ramp and I hit the ramp at an angle so one front tire goes on the ramp before the other. This way I don't bottom out much. I do have skid plates on each Spyder and hit the RTS skid plate when backing in often but there has not been any damage because it just barely touches. The 394M has a 12.5 foot garage.

Great info, thanks. We have a RTL. Thought I would have to hit the ramp at an angle. What do you pull the rig with?

The 394M has a GVWR of 20,000 lbs.....I have one also. That trailer needs a Dually in order to stay within all of the load capacities for a tow vehicle.....GVWR, GCVWR, RAWR, FAWR, Payload, etc. If the trailer is loaded to the GVWR or close to it, you will likely be looking at pin weights above 4000 lbs.

I pull it with a 2017 F350 Crew Cab Dually. When fully loaded I wouldn't want to have any smaller tow vehicle.

Thanks for this information all!. We are looking at loading a 2008 Gold Wing and 2013 Can Am Spyder RT Limited in a 397TH. Based on what we are reading, it should work (fingers crossed)!!

I put. 2X6 underneath edge of ramp, that 1.5" makes the difference of scraping bottom or not at top of ramp entering.
