Harbor Freight trailer build

[randysway223]

Wow. That was a lot of work. Nice build. It was entertaining to see it all come together. I don't really intend on getting a trailer at all, However. It's nice to see how easily it can be done.

Work on the trailer is about finished. Just got through building a padded top for the ice chest and upholstering it to match the gray on the trailer.

That aluminum ice chest was built in Minneapolis, Mn in the 50's. Part of my metal ice chest collection. I haven't got everything done to the trailer that I wanted to but time is short so I have to make do for the time being. I checked with Arkansas Revenue dept. and they will sell me a license plate for the trailer that is the same size as the motorcycle tag, so I won't have that oversized car tag on the rear bumper. Cool.

Looking good Mike.

Vehicle dept should offer smaller plates for these small trailers. The car size looks strange on them.
Cali gives us no choice you lucky dog.

Project I guess is completed. Pulled her 110 miles today on four lanes up to 80 mph, 2 lanes up to 70 mph, fell into some good curves, couldn't even tell it was back there. I actually enjoyed the ride, the trailer seem to stabilize the bike in some circumstances but I did have to remind myself not to hug the center line on the lefties. I left the ice chest at home so it's not in the pics.

See my ittie bittie trailer plate, that's so cool.
