99silver Posted April 30, 2009 #1 Posted April 30, 2009 Well, it took a lot longer than I thought but I'm happy with the finished product. Here's a few pic's until I get the Photobucket thing figured out and I can post the entire build. Road tested and ready !!! Have to install the stickers yet. Gary
99silver Posted April 30, 2009 Author #3 Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks, I'm real happy for a home built, I don't have a total on the cost yet but it around the $500 range give or take a couple $.
Brake Pad Posted April 30, 2009 #4 Posted April 30, 2009 I had built two years back, but went with a store bought, this time round. I was one of the riders that pioneered trailering, I even made my 1st hitch
funrider Posted April 30, 2009 #5 Posted April 30, 2009 That is something that I want to do, but got laid off and can't afford to do it now. Nice job
Skid Posted April 30, 2009 #6 Posted April 30, 2009 Very nice, I need to get started on mine again. Where did you get the cooler rack? By the way it bolts on I'm guessing its not home made?
99silver Posted April 30, 2009 Author #7 Posted April 30, 2009 Yup, Built the hitch as well. Found alot of info on the Delpi trailer forum
Rottdoglover Posted April 30, 2009 #8 Posted April 30, 2009 Nice job. True motorcyclist improvise instead of just paying the high $$. Looks like it will haul a good load. Did anyone else notice how the top sorta looks like a saddlebag lid turned around?
ronhenry4 Posted April 30, 2009 #9 Posted April 30, 2009 great job!!! looks alot like the piggy packer i bought i paid 650.00 brand new lastyear just didnt have time to build it but yours looks great!
99silver Posted April 30, 2009 Author #10 Posted April 30, 2009 Very nice, I need to get started on mine again. Where did you get the cooler rack? By the way it bolts on I'm guessing its not home made? It's built from a cooler stand that you trip over all the time when you go into a party store/ gas station, had to modify it a bit.
Skid Posted April 30, 2009 #11 Posted April 30, 2009 It's built from a cooler stand that you trip over all the time when you go into a party store/ gas station, had to modify it a bit. Nice idea. I'll have to keep my eyes open next time I'm in the store. Although with the misses be a little heavier the next six months, I don't expect her to take any long trips this summer so I don't need to be in any rush now. And I just put a new rear tire on tonight and didn't put the hitch back on for this summer. I figured a little less weight might help my advantage with Yammer wanting to challenge me this summer...... that is if he evers gets on the road.
99silver Posted April 30, 2009 Author #12 Posted April 30, 2009 Skid, You don't sound very scared !! If he pulls out something bigger than a 750 it might be worth turning the key.
KarlS Posted April 30, 2009 #13 Posted April 30, 2009 Very Nice Gary. Didn't take you long to finish it and build the hitch from the day I stopped over. Very Very Nice.
Skid Posted April 30, 2009 #14 Posted April 30, 2009 Skid, You don't sound very scared !! If he pulls out something bigger than a 750 it might be worth turning the key. LOL, he keeps talking, but I haven't seen anything yet..... sorry I changed the subject here......nice trailer.
99silver Posted April 30, 2009 Author #15 Posted April 30, 2009 Very Nice Gary. Didn't take you long to finish it and build the hitch from the day I stopped over. Very Very Nice. Yeah, but it seemed like I've only been in the garage, truck or bed for the last few weeks !! Oh, and the shower a few times.
BradT Posted April 30, 2009 #16 Posted April 30, 2009 Gary you did good, looks real nice. I am sure your happy with it. BRad
ibents Posted April 30, 2009 #17 Posted April 30, 2009 Looks good Gary, now I have to get off my butt and get one made before July. Ian
Eck Posted April 30, 2009 #18 Posted April 30, 2009 Very nice job indeed...!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paint job on the trailer looks great. Now some chrome wheels are in order to top it off......

Eck, for as much as I'll use it the stock ones will be OK with me, BUT if you or Eddie had it there would be lots more bling for sure.

Your right in that you built it to satisfy your needs as to how much you will use it. I'm just fond of Chrome and Liquid silver.......
Jerry M Posted April 30, 2009 #22 Posted April 30, 2009 Gary, Nice job on trailer.I use my trailer all the time and realy enjoy having it when we travel.Jerry M.
