Title: Trying to identify this trailer
Post by: ultrafxr on October 31, 2019, 01:39:36 PM: Motorcycling friend phoned me because he knows I've had several trailers. He is trying to help his friend identify this trailer. Guy wants it to pull behind his little sports car and is for sale for $400 but no info available.

So wondering if anyone knows what the heck it is . . . and if it's worth $400 and additional $$ to paint.

TIA

Agreed. Also looks like they had a bigger diameter tire in mind when it was created.

Someone in Sarasota has one, looks the same. I don't know him but have seen it several times. He pulls it with a old GW. I think he has been to Sturgis with it (2150 Miles from here), So maybe it is a little durable.

My friend said the fiberglass is thick and the box is very heavy. The trailer he bought to take the box off had torsion suspension and he said the tongue weight was way to heavy to pull over 35 with a two wheeled motorcycle. Will post the trailer photo when I get it.
