I finally got a Harbor Freight trailer...
« on: May 25, 2007, 05:11:30 PM »
... and it works great.  I just hauled a bunch of sheetrock & studs home to finish off the basement for the kids.  Next will be to swap out my CB175's - blue home to the garage and gold off to the storage unit.  I think the blue one will be easier to register, so I'll concentrate on it.  I moved it once with a trailer-hitch platform, but it was a bit too dicey, so this time I'll be going in style with my brand new folding trailer.

It took a couple of nights bolting the whole thing together, and an afternoon fooling around with the platform with my dad.  I must say that it is way heavier with the platform bolted on - if you get/have one, be sure to lock it together when it's folded up so it doesn't suddenly infold, causing it to become unbalanced and then fall over.  Ask me how I know this.  >:(  I also am using a packing strap & a big hook in the rafters to help keep it verticle when it's folded.

No pics of the new trailer yet, but a shot of the 175 on the platform.  :o

Nice CB175.  That looks exactly like my first bike, back in '83
