That is a good looking trunk rack. Being the farmer I am, you'd be surprised what a feller can haul with small racks... I built mine strong with the intention of being able to also use it on the Toyota (hence the 4 pin). Have actually hauled mineral blocks, 100 lb. bags of corn (anything to dirty to put in "wifes" car. ) Have also hauled 2 gal gas, oil, chainsaw and weed eater on the back of my bike...Tell myself it's to save on gas, but I like to ride... I ride with 40 lbs. air in rear shock and 3 lbs. in front . With 45 lbs. on rack(suitcase and extra shoes), I can't tell it's back there riding two up. I'm 222 lbs. and wife's 125 lbs. Only other thing that I can see that would make a difference, is, I raised and rotated 90 degs. the forks in the triple clamps 1 inch... this might just make the difference in what we're experiencing?

And I, won't be eating ice cream, any where near you guys!

Make sure it's a POWERED Hopkins/NAPA (NAPA part no 755-1596) 5 to 4 converter.... It will isolate your trailer/cargo carrier/cooler rack without frying your electrical system... There is also a plug and play that allows ease of converter hookup on this site. (M61A1MECH)

I'll bring my 4 pin, lighted, cooler rack along so you can try it out. It uses the same trunk as Garys (Wallmart) but the rack has the LED lights built in, along with a place to hang your license plate. This makes the trunk more waterproof and the rack more versatile... IMHO

Jeff, Are you still going to the campout in Ohio?

So... He actually put the Strawberry Ice cream back in the fridge? Don't think I'll be eating Ice Cream anytime soon...

In our thoughts and prayers.

I might ride up next Saturday, the 20th, weather permitting...

Got this from a friend, thought some of you might be interested: Hey gang, I received this in my email this evening. I know most won't be able to attend but if you are close come on down. It's from Dave Hembroff, Director of Special Projects for Iron Pony. They have my name on file from our AMA charter.

I look forward to seeing you and your friends soon!

Prayers up to Jeff, Leslie and family... Can truthfully say, haven't meet anyone more deserving of our thoughts and payers... besides of course, my own blood. Something to be said for one that spent his life, in harms way, protecting others...

ok just een you were having the part shipped.. that would have been a long trip from mi.

another place to check for Gravely parts is moores tractor sales in Ripley, WV 304 372-8161

You're more than welcome to spend the night here... will Pm you my address address/phone no

Got the equivalent from NAPA part no 755-1596 but it has Hopkins on the label. installed in 30 min and works as promised. That's a good point about the camper and marine sales having them...

Absolutely!

Yup did that after I got back from Galena... It worked great up till Guntersville.... To late for the M61A1Mech adapter...although that would have been a better fix.... I cut one each of yellow, blue, brown and green wires 7" long and soldered and taped where the scotch locks were this morning. Also tested both the cooler rack and the bunkhouse on the Toyota... they both work fine... definitely the non powered converter... I'm a believer on the powered converters now. To bad no one keeps them in stock or that's what I would have used in the first place.... Hopefuly Ravenswood NAPA will get it in from the Nitro WV warehouse at 2 as promised...

Found a Hopkins 46255 at NAPA for $58... will be in at 2 PM today. Will definitely feel better installing this as the idea of the other going out on my trip, isn't a pleasant one...

No, it's a non powered one. I bought it in Guntersville as my old converter failed after 2 years and I needed lights on the cooler rack to get back home. After having slept on it, I've decided to take the time to fix it right... Going to call around and see if I can pick up a Hopkins 46255...

Ummmmmmmmmmmm... Asheville? Hope not. Might be time for another loaf of bread? you gonna get Jeff to help? LOL

Leo, There's a Walmart in Cannon city! Canon City Walmart Supercenter Store #1019

Have fun... Lord willing, I'll be there Monday evening with my bunkhouse....

Well, I got it working but I'm not pleased how I did it... Will have to do later as I'm headed to Colorado Saturday morning and don't have time to fool with it anymore... Hooked it up the way It should be and was getting feed back with no brake lights and the running lights were actually the brake lights: Bike - Converter - Device battery ground - white - Ground Blue - Brown - Tail light Brown - Yellow - Left turn Yellow - Red - Brake Green - Green - Right turn Hooked it up like this and it worked: Bike - Converter - Device battery ground - white - Ground Blue - Red - Tail light Brown - Yellow - Left turn Yellow - Brown - Brake Green - Green - Right turn Believe the converter is either wired wrong internally or shorted, but it work this way... Works perfectly on bunkhouse camper that Jeff wired up a couple years ago. works on the luggage rack I built. Will hook bunkhouse up to the Toyota tomorrow... Pretty confident it will work on the Toyota... May get a powered converter as I believe its a better fix.

That is way cool Jeff... Also set ya back about $70; unless of course you know someone...

Will do... have it posted on the calendar... There are a few Hotels in Ripley... Super 8, Quality Inn, Best Western I'll see if I can get some prices and post...
