A Note Regarding Motorcycle
Trailers: It's our understanding that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that all
trailers sold in the U.S.A., whether they are towed behind your motorcycle or for towing
your motorcycle behind another vehicle, must have a Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) and other important information displayed on
the trailer. Trailers are now considered to be vehicles by the DOT
and must be DOT approved. This is true for all trailers --
if someone tells you otherwise, they may be mistaken. "Kit"
trailers must also meet this regulation -- if the manufacturer tells you
they don't, they may be wrong. But hey, what do I know? For
more information, visit
the trailer information page on the DOT website. | In
the U.S.A., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
is the regulatory agency that makes the laws; for an official
interpretation of the law, contact the Chief Counsel of the
NHTSA
