Trailer Weight

BVG123 said:
looking good .what is the estimated weight and have you considered brakes

BVG, Thanks for looking. I put the trailer on some scales sun.. and the weight is now 158 lbs. I still have to do all the glass work and it should come in at about 168 lbs. I see no need for brakes being that the trailer is so light. As for pulling power i have plenty due to the gear reduction i have, and the extra HP / TQ i did to the 110" motor. Thanks for asking and if any more questions feel free to ask (booggerbe ) Ron

Frame build

View attachment 53261 View attachment 53263Ok Forum members. Thought i would share some pics and imfo on the custom build trailer i am doing to pull behind my R/G trike. My goal is to try and match the Daytona CSC conversion i have now. Being a custom shop owner and having over 20 years of being a fabricator and a lot of experience in fiberglassing , building some of the Baddest radical baggers with many awards. I thought why not build a custom trailer . I am using a pair of Tri-Glide rear fenders, set of Flexride 425 half axles, small rail channel iron, a set of matching rear wheels like on my trike, some abs plastic, a razor tour pak, any way that is the basics of my parts list. Plan on keeping the total weight under 200 lbs. I have alot of pics from the start and hope i dont bore anyone LOL. got to wait on warmer weather before i want to start the glass work . Thanks for looking Booggerbe (Ron)View attachment 53260

I see you have cutouts for the marker lights, what kind (brand) are you using ?

The Kuryakyn ones on the trike are no longer made.

lights

I am using CSC lights that I got from CSC. I don't think they are the same as Kuryakan. But the ones I have are the same as my trike lights. Hope this helps and thanks for looking

CSC used Kuryakyn but now use a similar LED version of their own. After seeing your post, I called CSC to get the scoop on the lights. I think I might get a set to see how they fit a Kuryakyn application. Thanks for the info........ ThumbUp

I love that your using the tomb stone lights like the trike .. could you get the same wheels as the trike ... that would be so kewl.

I didn't join very long ago, still catching up on posts... Very cool trailer. Nice work. :clapping: Cant wait for the finished pics of it. I lucked out on my trailer... I had a Bushtec that I pulled with my Ultra. It looks pretty close to the rear of my trike. You wont even notice it back there. Your about the same weight as my Bushtec. And about the same size.
