    Default HF 4x3 trailer Project

    Hello

    Well last week I purchased a used HF trailer (Like new)
    Like the one here:
    40-1/2" x 48" Small Utility Trailer - 1090 Lb. Cargo Capacity

    Got some plywood for the floor and I wanted to use a canvas bag. Well today went out of town and found a cargo carrier for $40. Man it’s pretty big...
    It’s a karite voyager. Its 46x38x18. I think. Well for the price I could not pass it up... Got it home and checked to see how it would fit on the trailer...

    Just right.... Still working on getting rails done..... I would like to paint the
    cargo carrier a red/black color...

    Any suggestions on painting over that plastic material?

    See Pics:

    The cheap spray bombs from where ever will work great on it and no sanding needed to mak it stick.

    I bought the same kind of trailer from Northern Tool.

    A friend built a wooden box for me (I needed 20" high and couldn't find a container).

    But either way, this is a LOT cheaper than buying a pre-made trailer. They seem to run $1500 and up.

    You can also use regular automotive paint and use the plastic additive. I think it looks good the way it is.

    If you want an idea to add some color to your carrier, how about using reflective pin striping to give yourself some color variance and additional reflectivity? Heres a link to a supplier who sells reflective pin stripping >>> Streetglo Reflective Tape. Reflective Pinstripe Pinstriping Installation Conspicuity tape

    PS, Im going to copy your trailer and add mud flaps on my HF trailer

    Hello all

    I connected my trailer to the bike and when I turn on the turned signals my trailer blinks the opposite direction. When connected to my vehicle no problem.

    Sounds like your taps into the bike turn signal wiring are reversed.

    Well since I have a three day weekend I decided to mess around with the trialer and got the lights now working correctly. So I headed out for a run with the bike and trailer ( first time) thru local rodes at 45 MPH tops. I tell you I though I did not even have the trailer back there at one point had to pull over and check. It ran pretty good. When I hit the 30 MPH with rough rodes I can hear the trailer but ran straight behind the bike. So Thinking of now putting on the cargo box to check things out.
