You probably could use it, but it would weigh more than the trailer...

i know, but i am trying to find something that is not going to cost me $250

There was a link to a lighter swivel hitch posted here some where, cost about $100 I think. If I find it I will post a link.

It dosnt it's a weld on.........

Brock · « **Reply #56 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:20:19 PM »

Yep, it bolts on with electric glue....

Plan B:- Weld it to a plate that you can bolt on. Personally, I would weld it on..

Looks like a bolt hole on the base plate just behind the ball

Brock · « **Reply #58 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:54:36 PM »

Cant use those holes, as the the mount is at the other end.

johnnyYTED · « **Reply #59 on:** May 21, 2014, 07:49:17 PM »

mayB that hole is for a safety chain,,,

mayB not

do you want to part with one :)

Woo Hoo my cargo Pod was delivered today, I had been searching for one that was 1200mm long, and 790mm wide, I have not been able to find a second hand one the right size or under $300, hence why I was looking for toolboxes and the like

one of my customers sells the Cargo Pods popped into the shop, and informed me that he had this brand new Rhino Pod that he could not sell as it was to small, it is 1200mm by 800mm (Volume Roughly 340L)

Cost: The princely sum of $100 cash!

It is a perfect fit!

Fully lockable, it is going to bolt on nicely

Now you need a new lighter chassis to carry it..

Lol the frame is very light as it is, I am happy

johnnyYTED · « **Reply #66 on:** May 23, 2014, 09:56:07 PM »

the way it opens may limit what esky you put in front of it

if it only opens as shown it shouldnt B a problem. pics can B deceptive though!

LQQks good though

What a great price mate, and aerodynamic to boot!!

Couch · « **Reply #68 on:** May 23, 2014, 10:43:28 PM »

Streak, It seems that since you brought that white ST 1300 everything's just falling into place for you,

but I have to ask, are you going to paint the cargo pod white or black, or just leave it as is?

Plan is a simple one, frame will be black , esky, pod and mudguards grey, job done

I think it is going to look very neat and tidy once completed. Plan is to tow it to Yeppoon overnighter for its first proper test run

Couch · « **Reply #70 on:** May 24, 2014, 12:05:32 AM »

Grey should go very well with white and black.............Yeppoon, I love that place, I very nearly moved up there about 27 years ago, I made plans that didn't quite come off, it should be a very nice ride with the trailer behind!

gaz · « **Reply #71 on:** May 29, 2014, 08:17:06 PM »

thats a nice Pod

Interesting, any tips to where to get a swivel hitch from?

I went the uniglide hitch
had to do a small mod to the hitch and tow bar plate but the connection on the bike is solid and everything else moves behind it
