Trailer?

The bike looks great, good luck! I hope to have one in the next few weeks. I'm actually curious about the trailer? Were did you get it / cost? How does it handle with just the front strap? Did you set it up for the bike yourself?

Trailer is build by my self,its a 1/8 2x3 square tubbing all way around(its 5'X8'4"),i know its overkill but works great and don't twist going down the road.I'm using dexter 2000# axle,leaf spring suspension and 12" wheels (i can use up to 15" wheels but set up as is works great with minimal drag keeping fuel consumption to minimal).I use canyon dancer strap with only two ratcheting straps, compressing the forks down and forward will keep the bike inside the tire chock and trust me it will not jump over it.If on longer trip I install third strap thru the rear wheel.
Cost of build is less then $650 not including my labor.To cheap to pay my self.lol.

I own roadside service company and provide motorcycle towing so this trailer is used daily.

RT Johnny. Yes I know, I can't spell.

Did not want to make fun of your spelling. Just thought that there might have been an interesting play on words that escaped me.

You sure did get a great looking bike! Enjoy.
 
we just lower the bike 2" in the back and 1.25' in the front.

She like it even more,for new rider(still in training) make it easier.
