Port-A-Chopper Motorcycle Trailer Assembly and Setup

I got tired of renting a trailer each time I want to take the bike out to the trails so I finally got myself a Port-A-Chopper (www.portachopper.com/). It was delivered by UPS in five boxes (60-70 lbs each)
After the initial assembly I was setting up the ideal tongue weight by moving the wheel-stop and checking the weight with a bathroom scale.
The tongue weight needs to be between 10-15% of the combined trailer (275 lbs) + motorcycle (240 lbs) weight; in my case somewhere between 55 and 80 lbs.
I ended up moving the wheel-stop all the way back to achieve this weight.
I also installed an old 1 7/8 hitch ball in a 11/16 x 5 1/4 in lag eye bolt in a fence post so I can safely load an unload the trailer without having to drive the car into the back yard.
