I'm looking for a motorcycle trailer

**Milts** · 26th November 2014, 21:06

Looking to buy a small(ish) and cheap motorcycle trailer in the lower north island...

I have maybe $800 to spend, and it needs to be able to take a honda 900 and a dirt bike.

There are a few on Trademe which I'll likely bid on, just thought I'd check if anyone knows of anybody wanting to sell one in the near future?

Make your own.
This took a day to make including wof and reg and then painted it the next day.
Cost all up was $600

This the season that engineer shops will be cleaning out the steel offcuts and after a few beers. Just saying.

No way. Bargain. Do you know any names or numbers for me to try? I think that's the best approach, but I wouldn't know anybody...

One of the guys at work might do the trailer if you call Proserve Electrical lower hutt and ask for Wayne.
I went to metal construction and bought some scrap steel from them plus paid them to do the axel stubs in beers.
Get the hub and stub kit, Hitch and leaf spring from the trailer centre. This was about $180 all up.
I got my lights and electricals from trademe.
I got the wheels from a guy who put his skyline into a curb destroying 2 for a bottle burbon.
The paint is 4 dollar cans.
Made a simple square frame. Added A frame and centre line plus centre ramp.
Had the axel made and stubs welded.
Wired it up and went to testing station on the same day.
