it carrys waterblaster with13litres of water inside ,ez up type pit tent, spare fuel ,20 litres of water ,12volt mobility scooter battery inside toolbox ,12v accessory plug , 12v air compressor, enough tools to strip bikes,plus 1 yz 426 and 1 yz450

[kezzafish]

coooooool. blung

[oldskool]

cool! are you setting up a mobile dirtbike valet service? how much yah gonna charge? have you thought about franchising? :blink:

[laserracer]

HHHHMMMM Mobile dirt bike valet ..i like it ...i got the goods if you have da money... but will probably have to use my other mobile wagon ...it would be a bitch getting it in and out of events though its front wheel drive:shit:everything you need ,even a vacumn cleaner which wont be much good for bikes unless its to give wicked blow jobs

[laserracer]

Any one else wanna add there trailer pics thats fine:niceone:

[B0000M]

well theres my one, loaded up for tussock buster. there was another bike in the van, and another spare spot on the back of the trailer

[barty5]

Here is mine can fit 4 bikes and gear with some room to spare.

[Taz]

Couldn't you have done away with the battery and ran the 12v power from the car?

YEP could of...... but her indoors like to use the car one to keep the coffee hot .. besides theres no drain on the car battery this way...plus i can take it out to jump start bikes or quads

If you hook it up to the trailer left hand indicator light you will get a pulse effect. Proven to remove inground dirt even faster! :niceone:

[laserracer]

yeah i tried that.. must have been a short ..cause i still cant stop my left testicle flashing:shit::shifty:

[B0000M]

if you want to get real fancy on it, connect up the "auxilary" pin on your trailer connectors to both the vehicle battery and the battery, this way whenever the trailer is on the vehicle with the vehicle running the battery will be charging :)

edit:

theres a flaw with this idea. the flaw is on starting the vehicle will try to draw too much current thru this cable from the trailer battery. and also for charging, the trailer will draw too much current if the trailer battery is low. i will try to come up with a better idea before anyone attempts this.

or at best both his testicles will light up! we'll need to get to the bottom of this and straighten something out!

men talking bout testicles and getting to the bottom of things and wanting to straightening thing out sounds waaaaaaay wrong

here we go Blackbuells trailer, 5 bikes 2 quads. A&R uses it every now and then when he take his family to woodhill.

Thanks Oldschool thats what all the girls say:innocent: ...but what do you think about blackbuells trailer:shit::laugh:

cheese- your field of expertise- would this do the job?

Whats wrong with a couple of inline diodes to stop the starter drawing from the trailer battery.

coool photomerge... is this your work oldguy? Is that the BP in Taihape?

[cheese]

they would have to be massive diodes. How about a relay to isolate it on startup??

[oldguy]

Sheetmetal by trade, yep Taihape BP Desert Storm 2008

[laserracer]

what about a ...on/off switch ????? with an inline fuse would that work?? that way i could choose when to charge it. Off when starting car then once going switch it on for twenty minutes or so just to keep battery topped up ??

[oldskool]

It'll have to be a massive relay to contact that load, relays don't come cheap. On the other hand bridging rectifiers are dirt cheap and you would only need to use one side.

[B0000M]

anyone keen to draw a diagram?

[laserracer]

ok heres where im at ....bridging onesided rectifiers ,massive relays, inline diodes,.......:shit: MAKING MY HEAD SPIN ....Ok maybe i just see how long the battery lasts first,.. if i can clean 2 to 4 bikes per event i will be happy and just recharge it between events ...OR heres an idea... if it goes flat i can always just use the car lighter socket... but hey thanks for all the help guys .. you guys are the BEST:Punk: great trailer pics too ..keep them coming ..anyone got a fancy covered one ??

[oldskool]

okay seeing as you're gonna be filing your design at the patent office next week I thought....very reluctantly mind....I'd better show what I have so I can make a counter claim that yes I did fly before the yanks.!!!

These pix show a covered trailer with mobile waterblaster and tank... and powered off the trailer adapter! ...and fits 3 bikes!!! Beat that!!! :Punk:

[laserracer]

you da man :Punk:

[krad_nz]

That would have to be a massive rectifier. How many amps does a starter draw? Small ones must be in the order of 100-120A?

[mossy1200]

This is the trailer I built last year.Total cost $520 on the road from scratch.
Trailer centre in the Hutt have the bits for half the price of repco etc.$200 for leaf spring kit with hubs and hitch and lights kit came from tard me.
Mags were swap for bottle whisky.Apprentice put his Skyline into curb and destroyed the other two.Came with directional low profiles almost new.
Metal came from metal construction in Welly just before xmas so swapped for beer and went through the longer scrap steel.They also let me cut it there as well and use metal brush primer.The centre ramp was one they folded for another guy and he never collected so got that for $80.00
They welded the axel stubs for me.
$25.00 for mag nuts from tard me.
Paint was super cheep rattles at $4 each.Im a cheep bastard.

That's a really good effort! :niceone:

[laserracer]

Thats a nice trailer ...cheap too..you have just reminded me i have to make up a mount for the spare tyre ..i found thespace saver out of my odyssey fits

[oldskool]

? shouldn't have to be too much more than what the waterblaster draws. 35amp jobby from jaycar last time I checked 5 minutes ago cost about approx $7.35c

Mine was mounted(mine was,means i sold it few months ago prob to cheep.Now have van) with threaded rod bent into U shape and sleeved with racol shrink sleeving for grip on hollow box section frame.i liked this system because I could move it around to balance load with different bikes.
My spare wheel was one someone left against a fence on the footpath three doors down.It sat there for weeks so I nabbed it.

I used threaded rod to secure mine too. My spare came off an old datsun and I had to bore out the inner diameter so it fit over the grease cap on the prehistoric stubby.

[mossy1200]

That's a really good effort! :niceone:

started at 7.30am and rego and plate same day at 4pm .Only the metal primer at that stage and just the centre ramp.
no tool box or fuel container holder which was a big floodlamp mounting bracket (2nd hand that i scored from work during cleanout).

[laserracer]

Hell that really was a good effort to do it all in a day ...WELL DONE

I to have a prehistoric stubby..Well thats what wifee says :shit::laugh: ...i think the one on my trailer is a lot newer ...actually im telling fibbs i think the wheels are like mk1 zephyer or fj holden or something weird like that ....had all sorts of trouble getting wheel bearings for it
Thinking of fitting a pull out BBQ.....Smart arse son says why stop there... fit a satelite dish and a spa pool as well....lol..lol OK

[mossy1200]

Thanks I sold it to cheep I think.$900 with new warrent and rego and that included toolbox,gas can and fire extinguisher.
I didnt relise how much people are asking for trailers.
I think I could churn out some for profit but wouldnt get mags so cheep as a $50 bottle whisky and the folded ramp was lucky score.
The trailer centres bits were half what repco wanted for same items.
I would spend coin getting galve dip if I was building another one as stones chip rattle paint quickly.Just kept spare (claret supercheep) in garage for touch ups.

[Reckless]

Some good ideas here! I 've been saving all sorts of pics of the net, as I'm gonna build a 5 bike one (three forward and two backwards in between) for this summer I hope!!! Got some good ideas like fold down front wheel brackets etc so see how we go!

think id rather try towing the mx5 with the bike than be seen driving one, and i think the dog may struggle.

Hey ...Hairdressers have to tow their bikes with something<_< That dog tows anything he's 4wd too his name is MACK
