Thank you both. It's just sitting in the garage covered up waiting on August 3rd. I'm thinkin a short road trip with it loaded just to be sure everything is OK with it.
Be Safe
THE DAWG
It would be very smart to load it up with 50 pounds of stuff or so and take it for a ride. You'll need to know how it feels behind you, especially since it can really slow braking distances down. Practice a few emergency braking maneuvers to get a sense for that.
The trailer tracks wonderfully in turns (even sharp ones), but you'll also want to get used to the feel of riding the clutch a little more from a standing start.
Buy yourself a 50lb fish scale like the one below to gage your tongue weight. You can find them at walmart for less than $15. It works nicely with the heim joint tongue hole. Get your tongue weight to about 20 min, 25lbs max, then give her a test ride. You won't believe how sweet the loaded trailer with track behind you!
