My Recovery Trailer

[Lionel]

Its a great trailer, Yorkie.
I'd like two mods for the one you build for me.
1. electric winch
2. slightly narrower ramps to fit two bikes side by side on the trailer.
I'm not in a hurry but before Christmas would be good.

[Yorkie]

Wombat gave me an electric winch, however it wasn't able to pay out so the option was to let the bike free fall, I was not happy with that option so went for the handraulic model, more control.

Yorkie, that's an incredible recovery trailer idea. If it hasn't been built elsewhere, have you considered taking out a patent on the idea?

Haven't given it a thought although it did take a month or 2 before I could work out how it would finish, I only have 1 small change I would make if I were to do it again and I am not sure it would make much difference.
Design was all in the head, with some discussion with Wombat.

I've only come across one other similar set-up and that's a British design http://www.trealestrailers.co.uk/motorcycle_trailers.php
but even still it might be worth looking into.
I know patents can be pricey, but if you're the only one with a recovery system like it here in Australia, it could well be a money spinner for you.

I did the same sort of thing to get my V strom onto the back of the truck
worked really well untill i filled the winch full of good kimberly dust
then I bought the ST

Good looking of course.  The bloke in the mirror thinks so 
There was a mention of a mirror in the top box at some stage
