carrier
The carrier is Harbor freight,aluminum. It is cheap,but also not very confidence inspiring. I would buy a different one,if I had to buy another. But for now,I will continue to test it.
The stabilizer is R T T ,bought it used here on forum. Wanted to see if it will help keep me from eating it,when crossing wet logs,etc.

Have faith in the Harbor Freight carrier. I've had mine for a few years now and it works great. Just tighten the bolt on the hitch to remove slop. I used to worry and watch it constantly, but after a lot of miles of it just sitting there, I no longer worry.
Also, a stabilizer will not prevent you from eating it when crossing a log. So don't think it will.

That's awesome man; so cool to read reports like this! Although I had a couple minor initial annoyances on my 200, I was head-over-heels for her during my ride this past weekend - perfect bike for my skills.
Keep up on the ride reports as I completely enjoy reading the fun that others are having - especially if I'm unable to get out for a few weeks. And your hauler is frickin' awesome - I would love to have one of those for the camp/rides I do |

I've had 2 of those. the 1st one destroyed by a cell phone using/make-up queen. Bought another one...they do work pretty well. I spot welded all the hardware to prevent unwanted self-destruction. I'm long since spoiled with a fully enclosed trailer(lights, heat, stereo...).

stabilizer

I have never rode with a stabilizer before, so even if it works as placebo effect would be good. The wet logs,roots,etc seem to throw my wheel to the side when i least expect it,causing me to go down. I am hoping the ability to keep the front end straight when needs be will help at times. There is the certain trail, that 90% of the time i crash at this one certain corner that has an always wet root at an angle,just as you come around a corner. It probably doesn't help that i now focus on it, because i know it coming. And it still takes me out-makes me so mad So if i can just get through that section at least 50% of the time, i will be happy.

Good suspension set up will help you in that situation. My point was to warn you not to get a false sense of security. Don't want to see you get hurt thinking the stabilizer will prevent the front from washing out on you.
