Dirt Bike trailer self build...done

[UK4X4]

The rear frame has tie downs either side, one strap looped around each tire
then ratcheted down and to the rear.

Keeps them down and inline, that way the deck stay's flat and usefull for other things.

I think as soon as you try and make a multi function trailer there are concesions that have to be made.

I mean realy just for two bikes a angle iron ladder would suffice....it would just look like crap..

ie the local built bike trailer in the background

I was modding for a friend as it had no front stops, no jocky wheel and the wheel stand's needed funnels in and widening

Nice trailer UK! I want to build a nice offroad capable trailer.


Ron, As far as your trailer goes, is it a utility trailer?
I understand what you need. I have a 4x8 utility trailer that I needed to haul 2 bikes. Sure it would work without my little contraption, but i added a couple pieces of angle and bolted it to the frame. It works.

That's pretty much what I'm talking about. Cool.

Yeh, I had that scrap lying around. I didnt even bother to cut them to equal length just bolted them how the same distance out. Another tip is to drill a hole just big enough for your hooks to pass through-- also must be close to an edge, obviously. That'll keep you from coming loose!
