    Strange but hes the guy who started this thread

    I was going to buy this but have just had to pull out due to an unexpected customs bill on motorcycle parts - Bastards

    If your interested me pm me and I will give you the guys number - I only advised him yesterday that it would be a month before I could get it and to sell if he can
    hi, "this guy" (me) here.
    I bought this trailer as i needed something quick. Its a lot bigger than i need and hence i am looking to buy a smaller one.
    This is hard to store as i have limited space.
    Not too fussed or not in hurry to sell. As i still need a trailer.

    My budget is the limiting factor....

    Maybe $800-1300 tops!

    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    Got any photos of drawbar attachment to main frame.
    How much clearance do tires have from floor?
    What distance are the lights from the rear of the trailer?
    What ply are the tires?

    Both good. Idd go trailer 1 and build an insert triple bike channel. Centre for one bike or outers for 2 bikes.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    Yep, both are good although the Briford is a tad small. I like the idea of the board on the drawbar, I could let the tailgate down and rest the front wheel on it for travel.
    I have a wheel rail thing to install, that'll help.

    This one is perfect?

    It is a Bunnings one though? Should I be concerned? The price he wants is almost retail though, mind you, the tyre, getting it wof'ed and reg all adds up. Plus the bike attachment.

    OK, I got one.....pick it up in the morning..


    I got a Kea 6 foot by 4 foot. $900, with wof and reg good for another 6 months....AND it is local!
    Older one and the front and rear tailgates open so that's good.
    It will fit the motorbike with the front tailgate down, I have a channel to get fitted for the front wheel if required.

    Just one question guys....
    I have 165.75.13 on the trailer at present.
    4 stud pattern....

    Can I get something better and bling it up a tad with a 4 stud pattern?

    These perhaps - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=847389572

    Basically, can I get biggerI Is my only consideration the wheels can fit under the guards and don't rub and hit on bumps etc?

    How much room is there between the tires and guards? You may be able to go up to a 14'' rim and tire. What sort of guards has it got, you may also be able to raise the guards for bugger all.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
