A few minor things to be done, mesh down both sides, enclose the draw bar for storage of tie down straps.

Not for use with STs but (I hope)

Cunning design indeed.

Nice wide ramp.
Will you ride bikes on while someone videos it? There are some outstanding precedents on Youtube.

Very nice Brian. Will you have it registered in time to bring it to Breakfast on the 13th as a bring show item?

Brock · « **Reply #6 on:** November 24, 2014, 08:28:41 PM »

Johno might need a lift home....

He does ride a Harley after all...

Very clever.

I have a growing dislike for you folk who are clever with metal and things.

I have a few trailers Glen, just swap plates around, it will take an ST if needed, I used the XV as a test because being 75kg lighter it would have been easier to pick up if any problems had occurred. I have had the ST on the trolley, strapped through the lower tree and it is quite stable.

Great build Brian

Great trailer Brian. The Harley has not broken down yet. Been soaked on the ride through the wheatbelt about 4 weeks ago.

Don't quite understand why this is on the ST Forum . . . Our ST's don't breakdown . . . You ride them not tow them . . 😘

and then you refuel them from the tin you're carrying. No need to tow.

Even with a RH pannier nearly full of compressor, bike cover etc there's room for a one litre tin that will take you at least 15 km closer to a bowser.

STroppy · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2014, 12:10:36 PM »

I have never run out of fuel on any of my motorbikes . . . I think it's called planning, management awareness . . . Mind you I have used my 7 x 4 box trailer to transport other peoples bikes . . Never had any problems loading, unloading or in transit . . .

STeveo · « **Reply #17 on:** November 25, 2014, 07:26:33 PM »

Well done.

Love your work there Yorkie

Yorkie · « **Reply #19 on:** November 25, 2014, 08:50:50 PM »

Thanks for the accolades, it was a project to fill in some time, quite possibly it will never get used however it is available if needed.

Gadget · « **Reply #20 on:** November 25, 2014, 09:36:50 PM »

Great work Yorkie.

Pezzz · « **Reply #21 on:** November 26, 2014, 12:33:52 AM »

Really great job ...... but ..... I thought you were supposed to be RESTING !!!!! You know .... taking it easy ????? Hahaha

STroppy · « **Reply #22 on:** November 26, 2014, 05:58:42 AM »

Yes you have done well with all that engineering and welding . . . Maybe you can rent it out for members in need? I think I have seen something similar for loading a bike onto trailers or onto a flatbed ute . . . From memory it wasn't cheap . .

Yorkie · « **Reply #23 on:** November 26, 2014, 08:40:39 PM »

It will be available to any member who wants to borrow it, also for 2016 Rally if needed.
