First Gen Yamaha Trailer

[Iowa Guy]

Pulled into the parking lot at my son's soccer game last Saturday and at first thought someone had stole my bike. There was another big blue 89 Venture sitting there, accessorized a little different but still pretty close to looking like mine. I was able to talk with the owner after while. He had just purchased it with on 19K miles on it. It had come with a matching Yamaha trailer that he didn't have with him that day. I didn't know that Yamaha made trailers. Anyone heard of this or even better have pictures. I didn't think to get contact info from the fellow, just that he was from Washington Co., Iowa. Anyone have pictures of a 20 year old Yamaha bike trailer. Just curious.

I would be interested in seeing that, I have never heard of Yamaha ever making a trailer for behind the bikes as they dont condone it. Did you let him know about us

I'm going to stick my neck out and say the guy is mis-informed. He may have purchased a trailer with the bike that someone has painted to match, and that someone maybe put Yamaha logos or stickers on it.

 

To my knowledge there has never been a major manufacturer that has approved, much less provided, a trailer for a 2 wheel motorcycle. The new touring spyder, with 3 wheels, now has an optional factory trailer.

 

I could be wrong....but I doubt it.

Yes, I let him know what a great, informative, welcoming, fun, etc. bunch of people are on this site and encouraged him to check it out.

i have a "color matched" trailer that came with my '86, complete with YAMAHA logos.

i found out, after MANY HOURS of searching, it was made by a guy who called his trailers "SMITTY-BUILT".

haven't been able to find out ANY more info on the guy, or the trailer.

Wonder if I could "color match" my home built HF Escargo trailer with my blue 89?

[Flyinfool]

Any halfway decent paint supplier can do the color match.

I color matched my trailer and I think it looks like it belongs together with the bike. I had lots of help from Marcarl. The frame is a Harbor Freight cut down and a tongue I had bent to fit etc... I'm intending to add a few Yamaha emblems soon as I can lay hands on some. Maybe someone will mistake it for a Yamaha trailer :-)
