I lightened up by 35lbs by using a CR85 front wheel and a smaller box. I saved over 5lbs jus by switching boxes The new wheel saved 20lbs and the tire saved 5lbs
That trailer is awesome! Would love to build one for my bashon brozz 250. I cant believe how cheap it was for you to build it. Hope you make some vids of you traveling and camping with it. Thanks for sharing your project 😁
In the video it had a GS500 front wheel. But it proved to be too heavy so the big box came off and a smaller box went on. Also the GS wheel came off and a CR85 front wheel went on. I shaved off over 35lbs !!.
Any advice for those with solid axels? I was considering a trailer setup similar to a bicycle trailer. I don't want to build a complex hitch that mounts to the frame. I ride a f650gs Your design looks perfect and ide like to copy it
I made a simple arrangement to connect a trailer to my motorized bike - a rigid draw bar fastened to both sides of the bike frame, with a single vertical hole in the center behind the wheel, to pull the trailer. On the tongue of the trailer I welded a threaded end of a car inner tie rod end, and threaded an outer tie rod end onto it. The pin of the outer tie rod end goes down through the hole in the bike draw bar. This allows for steering , tipping of the trailer sideways in relation to the bike, (the tie rod can rotate on its thread) and plenty of fore-and-aft vertical travel. Tightening the tie rod end stud nut makes both bike and trailer hard to steal.
I realize this video is a bit older. I'm having a situation living off my bike that this would be the perfect solution. Do you still have this or do you sell them? I know I could build one if I had a place but I'm on the road full time.
Sure is a nice looking rig you have there, but with the front of the trailer having no suspension, the trailer is always going to have a very harsh ride. Suspend the front of the trailer from the bike frame.
you need to change the ridged hitch setup, to a universal joint type or ball for better handling , it will handle better on freeway speed and wind and in the curves , ive been pulling every type of trailer you can think of for 45yr from big trucks to rv trailers to small trailers and all my motorcycle trailer
It needs a semi ridged hitch or it just falls over,this works good it’s a tried hitch setup that I’ve used before. The problem is light bike vs heavy trailer
nice trailer but the turning radius of the trailer is too small on a tight turn you can fall of the bike the distance between the bolt and the front of the trailer has to be longer
LOVE THIS. Excellent craftsmanship. Can you PLEASE share you design plans?
No plans
I just go into the shop and build it,it’s all trial and error
Great video, I was thinking about buying a Sherpax trailer, but now I want to make my own! Thanks

Do it,it will be a blast
Great job price is right also really can’t beat it you only be towing it to and from

I’m going to be towing behind my Tao Tao TBR7 !!!.
Very nice set up👍. Make another video of how too✌️
61 bucks?👍🏼 I'll give you $100 right now! That's cool!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
I love it. The only thing I don't like about them is how they mount to the wheel. How does it effect the handling??
@@randalljay8806 that’s the best part,it doesn’t effect the handling over 10mph because it doesn’t effect the suspension
Good morning !!
It is a great trailer video !
So nice idea for loading much more !
Have a nice day!
It's nice I'm jealous
nice work man looks good!
Hows the emergency braking when fully loaded. Awesome build.
It tracked perfect under hard braking
Very nice
Excelente
Nice setup 👍
I'm wondering if tongue weight rules don't apply to axle mounted mono trailers.
Seems to be a great set up but missed the wheel type due to wind noise. What was the wheel brand?
In the video it had a GS500 front wheel.
But it proved to be too heavy so the big box came off and a smaller box went on.
Also the GS wheel came off and a CR85 front wheel went on.
I shaved off over 35lbs !!.

Viewer wondering: how do you rego that? Will those attachment points survive?
Anyway: not even putting lights on it
No lights needed because the motorcycle lights are visible.
No reg needed as it’s considered a part of the motorcycle
I need one built for my dog lol

Don’t have it anymore but it would be perfect for someone living off there bike

No plans,I just went in to the shop and started building
Do you got a vid with plans for this? I'd love to make one similar myself
Where can I get one ?
I built it myself,get a welder and start building !!👍👍👍👍👍
Can you got me link for parts

What was the wheel off of
Originally it was a GS500,later a CR85

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing wrong with this trailer at all !!
It works flawlessly,what makes you such a expert ???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry it's so windy I didn't hear about your rim and tire . How tall is it and where can I pick up one please.
It’s a Suzuki GS500 front wheel ( 17”)
@@motohead117 thanks much
Need to add a fender on it to avoid water splash on you and your gears
Where can I get one ?
