Okay so I got a few more pictures and some more specs. Total width to the outside edge of the fenders is 58", wider than I would like but necessary to nest the shocks between the box and the wheels with the box so low to the ground. Total weight is actually less than my old trailer! Grand...

EDIT: For pictures check out post #25. This is the second trailer I've built. The first one I built can be viewed over in the original Trailer Build thread. I incorporated some changes with this one, mainly the suspension. The 500# torsion axles I put on the last one were just too stiff and...

So I wanted to follow up on this. Over the winter I sealed up the cruise switch (good thing I did, the corrosion had already started but hadn't progressed too far to ruin anything) and tightened up the bolt holding the cruise cable to the throttle cable cam as was suggested. Problem solved. I...

I'm holding off on the registration temporarily. Being out of work at the moment I want to make sure I can still get the time off with what ever job I end up with. :)

PM en route for the hand guards.

Later in the video there were some black corrugated tubes poking up behind the windscreen for the intake.

Anyone try this with their FJR? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JANYxVn0O-M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

So THAT guy is the reason I have "NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE" on my wheel barrow tire!

I would like to build a motorcycle trailer with brakes. The bike's brakes may be adequate for the weight but it's the uncommon scenarios that scare me; like emergency braking in a corner! A couple hundred pounds pushing the back of the bike out sideways may just be enough to put you down...

Bump.

So I finally got the hitch painted a few weeks back and got it put on today. Also took some pictures of how I setup a plug for the trailer lights. The power converter is the Hopkins unit that isolates the trailer circuit from the bike's lights. I also built a harness that plugs into the...

Hopefully, just have to find another job so I can take a vacation from it!

This Thanks; mostly trying to improve the suspension. Not exactly sure how I want to do it yet, either Flexiride torsion axles (adjustable to lower the trailer) or maybe the Timbren axle-less suspension at this point. Timbren offers a 400# unit that uses rubber springs and the Flexiride axles...

You guys are REALLY making me miss dual sporting with my old WR400F. Dang I had a lot of fun on that bike! If it matters for the attendee list, Mrs. Northwoods Snowman is planning to attend with me. :)

So I finally finished the trailer. Got it painted up and registered. Now I'm trying to sell it so I can build another one and incorporate a couple ideas I have.

FYI the link to the craigslist ad is dead. :(

So after a two year pause I finally finished building my trailer. Now that it's done I want to sell it! Really though, I have a couple ideas I want to incorporate into another build but being that I'm currently out of work, I need to sell this one in order to buy materials for another. That...

Nice, I was waiting for a WWII punch line or something, but that works just as well!

That's a good one.

Why didn't you say so earlier!!!? Well, in THAT case..... I still don't need one...
