Ghost: M100 Trailer Build

[WinterfellJK]

will be interested to see what you come up with for the bike rack, I’m thinking of adding a removable one to the back of my trailer. What bike are you going to put on it?

1969 Honda Trail 90.

good choice-you can’t argue with 100mpg

I got the trailer roll ready so I can go to my local metal shop and pickup the remainder of sheet metal and round tubing for the skin and fenders. I also pulled it around the neighborhood and tested the jackknife capability. I found the pins holding adjustable length chains were the first to touch the spare tire on the Jeep before the tongue hit the corner of the bumper. I raised the tire on the tire carrier and I’ll trim the tops off the pins to give me more than 90deg of tongue rotation on each side.

I was able to tack the sheet metal panels to the frame this weekend, cut mounts for tail lights, roll tubes and begin mocking up fenders.

Does anyone have tips to keep tubes from turning into potato chips while rolling on the Harber Freight tube roller?

Neat build! It looks like you are following the initial concept plan closely. It's always nice when a plan comes together. I look forward to following the rest of the build.

All of that grinding dust/residue on the floor reminds me of my own trailer build. I like your articulating hitch.
