Hyo, depending on the amount of bikes you want to fit on the trailer, I would grab some wheel chock things from rocketbikes. make the floor flat and have the chocks bolted down to the floor. You could get folding loops to tie down the rear tyres. Then when you need just a flat trailer, remove all the gear and bam, flat trailer.

These things -> http://rocketbikes.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_38&products_id=60

Ill make some pics of the trailer I made for myself tomorrow, might be of some help.

[JDinOZ]

Right I just finished putting my trackbike on the trailer when I remembered this thread so you can't see everything as clearly but I got some pics.. hopefully they'll help you a bit. remember only pimp trailers have mags;).

Trailer fits 3 dirtbikes, 2 racebikes or any 1 bike in the middle, but I still have to widen the middle section a bit and make better tie down points at the front.

Some people don't have the guts to join the defence force to make their country a better place, I'm fine with that.

Some people arent smart enough to make a difference at home so they join the defence force, i believe its a natural selection process that has been going on for centuries. I'm fine with that.

I'm sure it helps war widows sleep at night knowing that some people think it is natural selection. Maybe you should put that on a big sign and wear it on ANZAC day, you know that day where we celebrate those susceptible to natural selection who are the reason we aren't speaking gook or German.

[hyofighter]

So I building this trailer right and I thought I might ask via making a thread about it on some ideas on what works and what doesnt , and look what happens

[JackTar]

Hey you, stop fucking interfering in your thread ya rude prick.

LMFAO

[wackyrider]

Hyo, I'm thinking of building a trailer as well. Not gonna make it a specific bike trailer. It's gonna be a box trailer with a bolt in wheel chock to lock the front wheel, and a couple of tie down points

[K6Thou]

Here is my effort at building a box trailer http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/034.jpg
It should tow flat behind my Patrol but it will be a cunt to load bikes into because the floor is 600mm from the ground.

[yoda]

fuck.. thats serious!

[hyofighter]

k6thou thats a pretty wicked looking trailer


so this is what i got regoed
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/parts/IMAG0277.jpg

now with bitchin freeby wheels make some mounts for the gaurds and start making the floor
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/parts/IMAG0283.jpg

[K6Thou]

Holy bling wheels Batman lol. What sort of clearance do you have from the top of the tyres to the guards ?
Mine is just over 120mm which is more or less the spec that most camper trailer companies set theirs up to.

Mine will be used for general shit like dump runs and ferrying the kids bikes around so weight won't be too much of a concern for me (front leaf springs from an MQ patrol should be sufficient ;))it looks like you have very little clearance but that could be the pics.......

[hyofighter]

the gaurds are only just sitting on there havent made any mounts for them yet as i have just done a axle flip and put it in top of the spring lowering the tray height by about 100mm so making it easier for getting bikes on and off , then ill have about 100mm of travel in there before the bump stop so ill have the gaurds about the same off the tyres , so she's lowered and got bling wheels she'll be pimpin for sure , tray i can make about 2400 long but ill have it at 2100 so i can have a tool box up front it will mostly be flat floored other than the wheel guards coming up through , did think of making some drop in sides and tail gate so it can double as a box trailer

[JDinOZ]

mags :)

[LKC73]

Nice wheels Hyo. Good idea on the axle flip, lower the better for getting bikes on and off. I would suggest if you can afford it, change the tail lights to the new LED type. That way you will rarely get and problems with current draw and having to swap out globes all the time.

[hyofighter]

yeah LED lights are on the cards for sure aswell as a new rear bar but no work on it for a few days now i fucked up today and cut open my wrist on a piece of metal and got some stitches , shit happens

[xa-mont]

emo :P

[hyofighter]

nice one hey , but everyone keeps telling me i should have gone down the street not cross haha

cheers for the ideas fellas and now the trailer is done other than painting but thats next weekend had to give her a test out so out with the missus quad and it seems good , all up she has only cost me $550 including the paint , pretty good i thought not the most fabulous bike trailer ever made but i wanted a flat floor so it could be use for anything

http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/parts/IMAG0311.jpg

[BANDITROD]

That's the go Scotty looks good mate

[hyofighter]

massive thread revival

so I finished this trailer in the end and it served well hauling bikes everywhere but it proved to short for the new dirt dragger with its swingarm extensions so I have sold it used the money to fund the finishing and regoing the yzf , so a new trailer is a must

https://scontent-a-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1146521_10203044956385485_1702652632_n.jpg?oh=2fef 7324f6cc05f60df95df6e402a0fd&oe=55160F06

so I bought this enclosed trailer frame for 200 bucks which I thought was a good buy I spose
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/20140829_161932_zpsae691b03.jpg (http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/hyofighter/media/20140829_161932_zpsae691b03.jpg.html)

first thing was lowering it as I suffer from porg (people of restricted growth) the last trailer was a pain some times loading with out a step of some sort luckily this trailer came with a drop axle that I was able to flip and axle over spring makes it super low
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/20141024_155342_zpsb939d9a8.jpg (http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/hyofighter/media/20141024_155342_zpsb939d9a8.jpg.html)

http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/20141024_155333_zps70a956ba.jpg (http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/hyofighter/media/20141024_155333_zps70a956ba.jpg.html)

then it was onto starting the lid for it , I think ill do some cross bracing to it now too , added struts and left a good gap to get a good seal into it

http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/20141114_180933_zpsc4a650c9.jpg (http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/hyofighter/media/20141114_180933_zpsc4a650c9.jpg.html)

http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/20141114_181112_zpse6628b7e.jpg (http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/hyofighter/media/20141114_181112_zpse6628b7e.jpg.html)

next is storage in the front of it big enough to put my waeco on a fridge slide to come out the side and tools or other crap on the other side so I don't need to get inside the trailer to access them as well as a shelf on the inside of the trailer for stuff like camp chairs and the like , still gives me 2.4mtrs of internal length for bikes and moves the bike back to be more over the axle

so next is the drop down tailgate /ramp , so I asking now what other things have other people incorporated in to there trailers ??? in fitting a battery and having led lighting internally and external for night time , awning of some description , and was thinking of places to mount jerry cans front and rear so I can move weight around to get a good towball weight , open to suggestions

[Large]

If you're going on overnighters you could fit a couple of fold down beds to the sides...maybe a TV

I'm planning to have hatches in the floor of mine to keep tools/gas bottle and stuff down low under the floor

[Mishdog20]

My pet hate with trailers are seeing the spare tyre bolted on as an after thought, made a place for mine underneath so its out of sight. Flush mounted tie down points are an ace thing too. Any room for a bit of a workbench, even if its fold down? Id be chucking a bit of aircell insulation or something similar on the walls too, to stop condensation and radiant heat.

[ozzy1100]

looking good

[hyofighter]

Large i did think of the fold down bed thing that could also be a bench too wasnt to fussed though as i have a good jet tent and stretch and swag . I like the idea of hiding the spare aswell only drama is this thing is pretty low but ill work some thing out . Recessed tie downs were on the list for this already just not there yet

[K6Thou]

Any room for drawers underneath ? I'm in the process of building a rack for a mates caravan to hold a tool box that could have been sorted with a set of drawers underneath.......

[hyofighter]

Shes a bit low for a draw underneith but maybe something on the inside of the draw bar maybe which im cutting off and making a longer heavier duty one but i do like your idea
