Plans to build a Trailer for a Motorcycle to tow?
Hey everyone,
I want to build a trailer that my motorcycle can tow. I'm hoping to create it from aluminum, but I've never built ANY trailer and any and all (well, most all) suggestions from the group would be gladly accepted. I'm unsure about the axle / wheel set up for something this small and finding a pre-made trailer that I could modify is nearly impossible without spending a fortune. This trailer will be a flatbed approximately 2 1/2 feet wide and 5' long. I suspect I'll never be carrying more than 250 pounds on it. I'm a sculptor and sometimes I need to head to a gallery 300 miles away... so, I thought, why drive my 6000 pound truck when I can ride my 45 mpg motorcycle. Thanks!
