Pulled it around sat. about 50 miles. Pulls great handles corners well even empty. Still need to get my tires on and it will be ready for our trip in two weeks. Will post back after longer trip with it to see what what I need to do on the next one I build.

Thank you for the replies. Already thought about lower the air pressure in the tires to make them more stable. Still trying to run wiring for lights and put carpet in the box. Doing things like this day in and day out in a fab shop is easy for me. By the way, this is not my garage. It is a friends airplane hanger/racecar shop. Thanks again.

After much thought I finally built it. A buddy of mine bought a bushtech trailer so after looking at his. It wasnt that much to it. Here are sum pics still need lights. I also made my own hide away hitch.

Would like to know if anyone has a couple of front rims off a dirtbike? Would like to stay with a 16 to 19 in. rim. Spoke or mag would work. Already have the box just looking for the wheels.

After days of trying different pinouts on the bike. I finally search the web to find out that cell or pc headset use condensor mics not dynamic mics. So I went to sierra's website and found the replacement mics for the helmetless headsets was the dynamic mics and pluged in the same way. Got the mics in wired up the 5 pin din to the manual but didnt work. thought ok wasted another 20 bucks might as will just buy them. But got to looking at the pinouts. For hack on it wired it backwards and they worked.Saved about 50 bucks and got lightweight headsets that we can wear with or without helmets. Thankyou for your replies. Really like this site and learned alot.

Thankyou for the replies. Never had headsets before and wanted to try some that was cheaper to start with. Dont like wearing a helmet all the time. Was thinking these might work.

Would like to know if anybody has these headsets? Tried to make my own out of plain headsets for phones or pc. But could not get the mic to work. Speakers worked fine but could only get a feedback sound on the intercom part if turned up to much. The ones I bought was a little tight with my half helmet on. Would like know if these fit?

Used lucas slick mist on windshield before we left last weds for tenn. Ran into rain half way there. It worked better then rain x and is safe on plastic and whole bike.

Talked to GARY at Dan's Cycle Tues nite. He called me at 8:00 that nite from the shop to tell me that it was the gear that broke. He told me that he would try to get it fixed before my trip next Tues. If he dont i will have to ride my buddys roadking. He just bought another HD at bike week. Would really like to have mine but the good thing is that I can still go.

Out for a ride today. On the way home started up a small hill in 5th and cruz on. shut off cruz grab a little thottle and jumped out for gear. Down shifted ok to 4th. Went back to 5th and it was like I was in neutraul. Got home in 4th ok about 30 miles. Is under warranty. just like to know if anybody else had this happen to them and what it was. Have a ride in 2 weeks. Dont know if dealer can fix in time. If they cant I will do it myself. Hate to have someone else work on my stuff.
