Motorcycle Trailer advice needed

Right I want a trailer but being an awkward **** it has to be better than
the average.

Has to be small but stable at (lets say) 155mph with 1 Gixxer on board.
Light and small enough to up-end, take round the side of the house and stow
against the wall.
Moveable racks to carry one race bike centrally or two traillies in
parallel.
I want to be able to mount a box for the carrying of general crap, tents
etc.
In a perfect world it would be sectional for easy boot stowage!!

I can design this easily enough if I must but my garage is going to be
stretched in fabricating heavy gauge steel. A kit form would be good. £200
or less would be even better.

 

You are 'avin' a giraffe.

No, you really are.

A new Erde would set you back over 650 quid and that's without box,
moveable racks (you'd need a 3-bike item) or being sectional. I've
not seen a sectional 3-bike trailer, nor one with a box able to be
fitted to it.

I could build it for you, but I dunno if it would come under 200 notes...

I think I see a business opportunity!

Local firm makes 1-3 bike trailer for £350 galvanised. It's just a bit big
and heavy as they use a generic chassis from the box trailers.

 

If only you were in Ireland!

 

Northern Tools have some utility trailers:
www.northerntooluk.com/

you need to do a search on "trailer" then sift through the lights and
wheelarches etc but there is a bare frame on there

 

search for item numbers:

12542E
12574E

 

not that far away from fishguard... could dump it on the ferry. FSVO

Have a look on Ebay. It'll be next to the listings for rocking horse
shit and hens teeth.

 

I've found something that fit's the spec, cunts want £560 squid!
The folding trailer link that was posted here looks more interesting though.

 

I dunno, really. depends on exact spec - I'd imagine that if I were to
build one it'd be somewhere between the 200 you first thought of and the 560
you've just found.

 

My 2 (biggish) or 3 (tiddlers) bike trailer was ukp440, IIRC,
including all the lights, electrics and so forth.

I went the 'easy' way and have a separate bike trailer, and a 'camping'
trailer ... Single Bike trailer for £249 from a small independant
manufacturer just outside Worksop, Nottinghamshire, but whuich we plan to
add a couple of extra channels for two more Bikes
