My New Trailer

[delivery58]

Just screwing around with photobucket / Avatar.. thought I'd try a post/pic. So here is my new trailer...note my home-build armrests!

What type of box do you have on there? I have a harbor freight homebuilt trailer with the cargo box but would like to try something different.

Looks good! Nice job fabricating accessories for your bike!

That trailer should hold all you need, good job.

[wheelie]

Cool wagon, I'd like to see more of the trunk and arm rests.

When I get a little more proficient with photobucket/Avatar stuff, I'll post more.. Pictures can be deceiving, the trailer is not that large,(subsequently not that heavy) cargo area is only 36 x20. Just enough to get the tent, sleeping bag, bedroll, misc...off the bike.
Less is More.....

The proportion of this little trailer just seemed to fit behind the Nomad better that a "harbor freight" size.

Wheelie... some quick pics of How the Armrest look.

I agree the trailer looks great and is a good match for the Nomad. The moon caps are cool. I went with a smaller box than most too.

I have this trailer For Sale locally... It's 185lb dry 2003 with a Continnetal Cargo box

Vinnie,
did you find your "for sale tailer" too large??

What yr. trunk is on your bike?

Rickyboy.. you have such a short memory (or it's that BC bud or something), My trunk is 84 (or 83) same as yours, remember sending me those pics when I was fabricating my rack?? As for the Trailer, (You know how hard they are to find come Spring/Summer), I bought the "white" trailer about 2 months ago, then 2 weeks later the other trailer I have came up For Sale on Craigslist (go figure). The "white" Trailer is actually the more "standard" size that I see behind a lot of bikes ( a couple of guys I ride with even pull the Camp-Trailers which start out at 400lb Dry Weight. The Trailer I have For Sale is actually very dimensionally correct for pulling (tongue length vs. wheels...)... I wanted to make a little Tear-Drop on it. It has 5-lug wheels and a "factory built" frame with Ser# and GVWR approved. So it really is a good platform. I just don't really want to pull as much as it will hold.

Rickyboy ... I tell ya what, I'll trade you a HD Fairing for it... haha

I like those arm rest. I'm not going to let the wife see the pics or she will want me to make some too. Already made my own hitch and trailer. Although I have a big cargo box, it does come in handy. I don't know if anyone else has any problems towing, but with strong cross wind trailer walks side to side on highway. Think I will add a gas shock from an auto hatch door as stabilizer over the winter. For those with trailers and 8" rims, I found the golf cart hub caps worked out ok, just had to drill center for grease cap.
