$800US and it doesn't come with the actual box, just the frame.

That looks like something Phreaky Phil needs for his Tat trip

Great rig Mossy. Probably a bit flash for Adv riding but how do you think that design would go in gravel, rough tracks etc?

Yes idd say buy a rolling wreck cr80 big wheel and use the front wheel as rear remake the centre bars and reuse the head stock and tripple clamps.Make the U shackle in tube steel not flat bar like i did.Stick light spring onto original shock or fit scooter shock.Sell the unused bits from the roller and you could have trailer sorted for $300 easy.Idd tow it if trailer weight loaded was under 30kg.

My money went on wheel with tire 180,ally chasis from bucket 250,U shackle 140,70 eye bearings,120 axel shaft,120 plate warrent rego,then smaller stuff like spacers,lights,indicators,plug jack,new shock.

$1040 was my total less the bag which was $460 but you wouldnt need spend those dollars on a trail trailer that would jump and bump around happy as flys on poo.

Great unit mate

...But please clear one thing up for me...NZTA actually make you rego, warrent AND get plates for a 2-3 foot trailer that has a such limited carrying capacity and road foot print?

(I knew they were tight arse money grabbing pricks...but come on!) WOF I can understand (But applied to current bike rego & plates...thats like getting a WOF, rego & plates for a top box & set of panniers! (what will they think of next to charge us for ay)

Still...its a bloody great wee unit

And another silly thing is theres no WOF standard or rego requirements
for a sidecar... The guy at the testing station told me ( after looking in the book ) we will look at the tyre
wiggle the wheel..thats about it..

....figures!, "just pay the bill sir & stop asking relavant questions!"

a clear example of blatant revenue collecting and having NOTHING to do with our safety or our machines road worthyness....but I bet ya the insurance company could find a problem with the unit if you make a claim etc

I just turned up with and asked to rego etc.
trailer rego isnt dear and warrents 1 year apart for 7 years.Biggest part was the plate cost.
no real standards for trailers apply BUT refer rules about load exceeding x distance from rear axel and take into account its bolted on to bike but if not classed trailer would need to be a certified addition to the bike opening can of worms.Basically if classed part of bike could need certed.At least as trailer falls under trailer under 2 ton catagory(no cert required).
