The mornin of May 15 I am off work for 10 days and headin to Grand Canyon , Kanab , Zion and Kodak . I was raised in the area and the last time i was there in 1989 and on a cb 450 burned a piston in Ceder City UT. gave the bike away and hitched hiked back . this time i think no hitch hiking will be involved got a lot better bike ! the only bad thing i see is getting from here to hwy 180 in NM. BORING !! and i hate interstates , i need to buy a new GPS but can't afford a Zumo 550 , need to find to find a cheap one to plug in the cass player . got to pull the trailer out of storage , wash it , grease bearings and make sure the lites work . almost forgot ! download the VR asst. list ! with that , tools and new helmet I'll feel safe . :cool10:

OOPS , just checked and harbor freight or tractor supply have the anymore but northen tool do's http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/category_trailers-trailer-parts+trailer-brakes+drum-brakes+4294944164

Luckily , the time delay are just about off the market . only the discount stores sells them . but the elec. brakes for the trailer are easy , you can buy them form harbor freight or tractor supply .

Ok , this my field , yes you can run elec. brakes on a M/C trailer , No elec brakes are not on off . If the bike brakes hard , the the trailer brakes hard , if the bike brakes soft trailer brakes soft , its in the brake controler . the biggest thing about elec. brakes is adjusting them to the load of your trailer , there is a gain control on the controler for turning them up or down . To convert to elec. brakes you will need 2 backing plates , 2 brake drums hubs for your trailer , for the bike you need a good brake controler [ i like the Voyager ] and a 5 way plug , the wiring on the brake controler is black wire to 12V pos , white wire 12v neg , blue wire to trailer plug than to trailer brakes , what is different on cages and bikes is on a cage you connect the red wire to the brake switch on a bike you connect the red wire to the wire going to the brake lites . if you need any thing just ask . I am not a fan on surge brakes because of less adjustments but elec. disc brake are very nice but very pricy Thom
