    I finally have it

    The tow bar has been finished and fitted
    The trailer is a bit slower but it is starting to look like a trailer now. Hopefully will be done for the next overnighter.

    Good work matey. Not my scene, but I can see why7 you like it.

    A green tennis ball would improve the looks somewhat...So is it braced into the rear subframe?

    bolts onto the rear panniner frame mounting point. Some one would have to ask so outside for another pix then.

    The ST would look cool towing a small trailer say something like a Unigo when you get it back. I'm sure your Mrs will be able to fill it up

    I'll need a tandem trailer to fit all my kids.
    Hooked up the car trailer and went for a ride. Definatly a good way to keep to legal speeds though. After about half an hour I was getting used to the sensation. For a trip I'll have to alter the suspension settings and add more air. Oh yeah I'll get a swivel hitch for the trailer, should improve the handling.
