Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

That looks sweet. My wife was just complaining that she hates sleeping in the back of the truck with two people, and I've been looking for an excuse to buy a welder

Gotta keep myself in check, step 1 is paint and tires...

 

This solves everything






And they were made to float

 

We used some plywood to keep it all in one spot then poured it back into the gun haha

 

God I love this look! I have to figure out how to mount the rear section of the seat. ATM I'm thinking of finding another OEM rear fender and cutting it down.

 

Do be warned those things can get pricey haha I had a m100 and sold it loved that little trailer!

 

If it's truly a old m series trailer with it having rounded fenders it would be a m100. The leaf springs mounts look like the m series but I've never seen a flatbed one before?

 

I've got a trailer also...but this is better if the bike allows. Designed and patented by an MIT Doctorate for his dirt bike. City life. No room for a trailer.

 

Nice ass.

 

Talking trailers.. This was posted recently in the Virginia section.

Love my rack-n-ride carrier. Not sure what CB is being talked about though to have input whether it would work or not.

 

I'd 100% buy a small trailer if I were to do it again. The tongue weight sucks, I have beefy springs but I'd feel way better towing the bike. The big advantage is I can park anywhere at the trails I suppose.

 

I purchased a used equipment trailer basicly for the price of the new tires it had on it.

I replaced the deck with 2" oak, welded up some sides and used 1" ash boards for the sides.

It'll hold some weight. Mag lights so I will never have to lay on the ground to fix trailer lights again! Dutch doors are removable. It also has a 2" reciever hitch mounted on the front top rail for a winch. Front rail and wall is seriously braced.
it has a removable wheel chock, and tie down hooks every foot all the way around.

The day I picked up the Bonneville.

Low deck height makes it easy to load and unload stuff.

if you can weld then build your own the way you want it. I have a do it all trailer now. Beat up the trailer and not my truck.

 

now that is nice! great job!

 

I had the ultimate MX hauler. Worked great but honestly if I were to do it again I’d either put the bike in the bed or get a small trailer. Did a few long distance trips (1k+ miles) with it and the tongue weight was really noticeable even with the upgraded suspension in the truck. Ended up selling it when I got my Africa twin as there was no way I hell I was going to put a 530lb bike on it.

 

Those cons are pretty big imo. One reason i didnt look into them. Just more moving parts/failure points than a ramp style rack. Its also fairly heavy yeah? Like 70-80lbs?


Decent rack and i dont notice the tongue weight of my ktm on there. But my truck has always felt better woth some weight in it since i put the deaver springs on 11 years ago

 

epic pic thou!

 

this is the way....

 

Mag lights are a fuckin treat. Seems every time I use a trailer one light starts acting up, not with those

 

I wanted to do a cheap tailgate lightbar but my hobo freight trailer has stake pockets back there.

 

Sold my original 94 Harley saddle bags. Got $600 bucks for them. Used the money to buy some nice 8’ folding ramps, nice dust collector, foot pedal and high flow blasting gun for the cabinet.
