wes0778 Posted July 20, 2009 #1 Posted July 20, 2009 Started with a plain 5X12 trailer. Added the $30.00 Chock from H/F. Then a Tongue Box from H/F. Really got lucky at AutoZone, Asked about the $229.00 polished aluminum tool box on display. Clerk said "you don't want that one, it is bent on the bottom." Oh Heck YES I want that one, whatcha want for it!!!??? Manager says $120.00. Ya think I could pass that up? Added a spare on the rack and new radials on the ground.
Squidley Posted July 20, 2009 #2 Posted July 20, 2009 Looks Good, I need to get a box for the front of my trailer myself....as soon as I get a bit of free money

wes0778 Posted July 21, 2009 Author #6 Posted July 21, 2009 Is yer bike broke? is it being sold? no? then WHYYYYY is it on a trailer??? hmmmm???? Trailer is the only way the company will let me take it to remote assignments(usually a week at a time). After I'm there I commute from the motel and can ride it after hours.

wes0778 Posted July 21, 2009 Author #8 Posted July 21, 2009 hummm tool box, spare parts box,,,,,,,,,,,,you sure it's a Venture Trailer?????? Not a spare parts box, a hitch lock and tie down box.

Condor Posted July 21, 2009 #10 Posted July 21, 2009 I like the add ons. Now I wish I hadn't traded off my 6x14 for the 5x10. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to do without the diamond plate bling....
YYZ Posted October 14, 2009 #11 Posted October 14, 2009 I bought what appears to be the same wheel chock earlier this year here in Ontario and paid about $170 for it!
wes0778 Posted October 14, 2009 Author #12 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I bought what appears to be the same wheel chock earlier this year here in Ontario and paid about $170 for it! As stated the one I bought was around $30.00 U.S. from H/F. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=96349 They make a heavier one for around $70.00 U.S., but don't get it, 'cause once one of our "150" width tires locks in you will most probably have to let the air out to get the bike out. On that box it says for tires up to "130". Edited October 14, 2009 by wes0778 add URL
massey130 Posted October 14, 2009 #13 Posted October 14, 2009 Walter, I have the same front wheel chock from HF. i like mine too. i did remove the cradle thing as my front tire sat in the air. i did not like that so i removed it. it chocks up fine. paid 28 buck with tax and a coupon. i converted my utility trailer but added the heavy duty eye bolts for tie downs. i want to add some sort of parts box, but have not done so yet. good job on yours, i like it. we will trailer ours some also. the wife wants to drive and then ride like a co worker, so we will give it a try. later.
