    Default Trailer done! Followup

    A while ago I stopped in asking for advice on building a pull behind trailer for my RTL, and I got some good advice. Anyway, it's done, and it's been well road trsted with two camping trips to Maine. Thought you all might like to see some pictures (assuming I can get them attached - apologies if I botch it up)
    Sorry a lot of them are sideways..

    That's probably the strongest, well built motorcycle trailer made! WOW! I admire what you have done. Tom

    I honestly don't know exactly. I'd guess at 150. I used 500# torsion axles on it and even fully loaded with camping gear, there is still some spring left.
    Gas mileage drops from 33-38 to 29+/- when pulling it.
