I thought id share this pic of my newly built folding trailer. My old man kindly assembled it for me and went the extra mile with the carpetting and trimming.
Just got to chuck a wheel chock and tie down points on it and im away.
Im keen to see how it performs and so long as it doesnt fold itself back up while on the way down the highway i reckon it should do the job nicely!

Easy Trailer? We had one for years and it worked flawlessly. Stored it in our single garage with the bikes. Just remember to tighten up the bolts that stop it from folding before you go anywhere.

Yep its an easy trailer. Good tip on those two bolts! Im in the same space situation so this was really the only option for me. Will see how she holds up.

Thanks Sicko. I was expecting questionable build quality and we were prepared to do some mods if needed for strengthening etc but was pleasantly surprised and there was nothing needed (yet) it all seems very good.
Heres a pic all folded up.
Ive also welded an extra bracket onto the base of my steady stand. Ill have a captive nut on the trailer to secure it to hold bike upright while i strap it down. Ill then be able to remove the chock/stand and use normally in the garage.

Wow! That's an excellent piece of design. Great idea with the steady stand, too!

mate do yourself a Fav...buy 5 bar checka plate and replace the timber top...makes it even more lighter again.

Thats a good idea. I wanted to get my blueslip on the trailer done with the standard board on so ill give that a run first and see. Lighter weight sounds good. Cheers Baddie.
