Homebuilt trailer

[mossy1200]

Having completed my latest project im looking at selling my trailer.
Its home built single wheel with WOF and rego.
Wiring harness lights etc and ill source another equipment plug for your bike end also.

Its set up to bolt onto zx14r at the moment but idd imagine easy adapted to any bike with a strong subframe.
If your local ill have a look at your bike to see how easily.
Its the second single wheel trailer I have built and ill likely build another for my next project when its sold or start another bike build.

Its running a MX swingarm with suspension. It uses a universal joint arrangement up front. Frame is modified bmx. Lights are low wattage led so wont effect indicator speeds etc. Comes with luggage bags. Rear wheel is a 2008 zx14 front wheel with sticky rubber. Bearing sizes fit the smaller axel design.

I tracks true and over 20kph it seems to be weightless unless overloaded. I think it handles as good as a loaded bike while towing.

Turns heads and starts conversations every time its used.

I would say the most I have loaded was about 25kg. As for speed it is stable. One would expect a wheelie at over 200 would be possible but I wouldn't want admit that. I was considering running it at the flying quarters but im not sure I would be allowed to.

Well It would be for when we are 2 up. I care enough about my pillions not to do stupid shit with them on the back.

Was more thinking about it bouncing around. How did you bolt it to the subframe? Pillion pegs I can see.

It tracks true. I have had it at good speed over the hill and haven't had any sliding.
Its using pillion pegs for push pull effect as my bike pegs run a nearly straight line to the subframe. The up and down weight comes from hangers attached to rear bolt points of the subframe.
Some extra shots included.

Photo 2 was when it had quad bike universal. Photo 3 was when I rebuilt it with home made universal as I didn't trust the universal strength.
Suspension is soft so it absorbs bumps well. You can adjust the spring settings only on the shock or pump additional air into it as it has a air valve.

Photo 4 is early on in the suspension build. Shot was taken before the frame was further modified so its a little different now from that shot but gives you the idea.

Deemed dangerous (by current legislation) OVER 100 km/hr is what I meant to post. Exceed that at your peril.

Its 90 with a trailer but haven't had issues doing 100 odd.

90 is the speed limit. Pinged over 100 is dangerous.


But ... Keeping with the flow of traffic is (usually) safe ...

ZX14r also for sale. Chilly Bin included.

Bike is now gone and trailer available. It wont suit the new bike so make an offer that involves money and chips.
I will need a different design for the new bike but cant start until you supply the money.
