[QUOTE="KYWinger, post: 70723, member: 1203"] [i][color=#0000BF]I will do all the tips I've read in the various HF trailer build posts - I will definitely repack the bearings with high quality grease. The springs are a single leaf, so no tweaking there, but I can still mount the axle above the springs. To save electrical loads, I'll replace the bulbs with some good LED's from superbrightleds.com. The frame is black; I may spray it silver along with the wheels - dunno yet. I'll lengthen the tongue 24 inches to allow for a cooler. Saw a neat trick about using a bicycle kick stand as a tongue support - gonna do that. I already have a Hopkins 46255 lighting isolator to hook up the lights. I will take the carrier to the body shop to see what the'd charge to spray it using a flexible bumper type paint; be nice to have it the same color as the bike - may be to pricey though... I'll post some pics once I start the build. [/color][/i] [/QUOTE]
