Been working on this for a month or so, finally finished the foam plug for the body. It is coated with PVA mold release compound. The frame, tongue and hitch are done. Have all the parts finished, except for the fiber-glassing of the body. I have the chrome wheel and tire ordered for it. Should have it ready to haul my junk to Inzane with any luck.





Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Looks Good :cooldude: You've got skills.
You should ride with it all the time, that way your friends can bring more stuff with them :)
 Everytime I ride to a local bike event with my local riding group, I get
"can you put this in your bags"? I've got everything...hats, do rags, jackets, brochures, the pile keeps growing on my workbench. They never come for it and I won't put it back in my bags and deliver it. Seriously, that looks good and should be perfect for overnight riding.
  Will it be done before Bikeweek? That could be a maiden Voyage?
If you can't be a good example: be a WARNING!!

Frank Smoak made one and dragged it to the last Inzane at Johnson City, and then
un-hooked it and took it up the elevator to his room. He said it pulled great...

This was my winter project till i started having driveline troubles.... :cooldude:
Its an old Dilly boat trailer that I cut down to 2' x 2' 8". I have one of the polyethylene truck boxes mounted inside of the frame. It's about 40% finished but functional. Entire trailer weighs around 120lbs.
I've fabricated a swivel hitch as well. Will finish it one day.
LIFE's BETTER ON THE DARKSIDE

The lower the center of gravity, the better.  Especially if one intends to do a bunch of stopping in non-flat areas.



Also, the longer the better for backing, and non-wagging.   I would love to have a sleek, painted surface, but the aluminum plate doesn't care about sand, rocks, etc.

Good Luck w/ the build.
