i took a stock trailer, built it up with 4 feet walls and drove it 4800 miles with the stock bearings with the OEM Grease... then ignored it 8 more years then repacked them, here I am 14 years after that, and they are still going
Okay that's awesome to hear! I figured when I started cleaning them that the blue stuff looked suspiciously like a solid axel grease and not pre-fab grease. I'm sure the swap I did probably made minimal difference in the long run =/.
@@localmisfit7006 blue grease is typically for multipurpose greases made from conventional oil base stocks. if you planned on having wet weather then best to change it out, I live in Nevada and never used it in wet weather... If so I would have swapped out for Marine Grease or maybe something more designed for wet weather.
If all you are using that trailer for is hauling your dirt bike, you can remove the two shorter leaf springs. It won't make your ride more plush but it will allow the suspension to use up some of it's travel and not bounce so harshly. Good job on your build.
I didn't know that! So thank you! I do mainly use it for my dirt bike. But we also only have SUVs and this is our only trailer. So every once in a while it gets the odd heavy duty job.
Same trailer , i used,a full sheet of pressure treated 3/4" plywood for the bed . Makes it not foldable , but it is for dirt bikes only , ( I did haul a new riding lawn mower also ) . Although some what a tight fit , I haul 3 bikes on it . A KX112 , a KT250 and a KX250 . Made a hinge system and a 4' ramp , that hinges up and latches after loading . I also upgraded to a 2" hitch rather than the 1 7/8" that comes with trailer . Great video . Mine took a little longer ro put together . Was using my air wrench and the power went out 🙄🙄
I'm glad I got the non-foldable HAUL-MASTER 1980 Lb. Capacity 48 In. X 96 In. Super Duty Trailer, for only $40 more, at the time. I have hauled lumber, stoves, refrigerators, washer & dryer combos, furniture, boats, canoes, garden tractors, a Honda Goldwing Interstate full dresser and even 1 ton of gravel. Now the largest HAUL-MASTER trailer is only 1720 Lb. Capacity because it is Folding.
Hey Andrew! Sorry for the late reply. On year two with the trailer now. Yes I regularly pull it at 75mph. However, that is also about as fast as I will go. I havent noticed any issues with thay speed. The tires seemingly handling it okay. I also have not noticed any odd wear. Actually, I have not noticed much wear at all. It can be bouncy and chirpy when you don't have a load on it. But besides that, working as advertised still =).
Two dirt bikes for sure! A bit, snug but it would work. Could probably get two street bikes on there as long as they didn't have a wide footprint. Dual baggers or touring bikes is a no go.
Honestly I just lift it on the trailer by hand. Dirt bikes are so light that I just manually lift the front end onto the trailer first and then roll it forward and lift the back end up last. I have a wheel chock on the trailer now that helps with that. Anything heavier than a light dirt bike should use a ramp. I think one of the foldable steel single tread ramps that Harbor Freight sells would be really good for any moto application!
Comes with a "Certificate of Origen" from China, that is equivalent to a USA title. Bring this and harbor freight sales receipt to DMV to register. Some states require Inspection of trailer before registering, check local requirements.
I love how you opened the door to show us Minnesota! 🤣

Great job!!
Thank you thank you! =)
Like your thumbnails!
Thank you! I am putting less effort into them, but pushing them out quicker =).

That's awesome. Surprising performance from these little trailers.
Great video, have you towed at highway speeds (75MPH+) and how do the 12inch bias ply tires handle?

Great job buddy, how does it handle on the highway?
Could one put 2 bikes on this trailer?
Two dirt bikes for sure! A bit, snug but it would work. Could probably get two street bikes on there as long as they didn't have a wide footprint. Dual baggers or touring bikes is a no go.
How do you load or unload the bike?
Honestly I just lift it on the trailer by hand. Dirt bikes are so light that I just manually lift the front end onto the trailer first and then roll it forward and lift the back end up last. I have a wheel chock on the trailer now that helps with that. Anything heavier than a light dirt bike should use a ramp.

Those trailers are 550 now
Sucks, doesn’t it lol
Dose a title come with kit?
Yes! They will get you a title at the store front desk before you leave with the boxes!
