TLPower's trailer
« on: June 25, 2018, 16:18:37 »
I bought TLP's trailer a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately,  it was over 2 metres wide - I could see both mudguards in my mirrors while towing it home. Half a days work with an angle grinder and MIG welder, new hitch and mudguards. I now have a trailer which is half a metre narrower, a few kilos lighter and will now go past the side of my house!

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Ta! We also moved the axle 3" forward and gave it a coat of paint. At least it's all the same colour now! Had son in law's r1100rt on it no problem. just got to fit the jockey wheel clamp now.

I boarded mine out with aluminium chequer plate, so much easier to load,worth a though.

It only took me a few years to work out that it was a good idea...but now done, it is so much safer and easier to load, I can even use the sidestand until I get the straps started, and won't break a leg getting tied up with the chassis. :fix:
