I read elsewhere about removing one each of the leaf springs. When the kits comes, are they separate and I just put one in, or do I have to tear it apart to remove the spring? Also, which leaf gets removed?
-
OK, So the 2x6's go front to back under the carrier where you would need them to be to use the mounting holes on the carrier. I think I am just going to use the plywood. I want to be able to remove the carrier, to use the trailer as a flatbed behind the Subaru. And where the carrier holes on plywood are, I will replace with tie down hooks. Just thinking and planning.
-
So you did not use plywood. You used the 2x6 as a brace further back were the metal brace should have gone in order to mount the carrier? Do you have a photo of that before you mounted the carrier?
-
That's a good idea. That way I don't have to add change or weld anything new. With the center brace that much more forward, does it change the stability of the main square portion of the trailer? I am going to put a piece of plywood down first before the box.

We have not had cable or the dish for many years now. There are various websites that stream every sporting event possible, I never miss a Steeler game living in Denver. There are also websites that stream regular tv. And a lot of network websites stream episodes of their shows.

You mention greasing up the 8 inch wheels to make them work better. Is there the same problems with the 12 inch wheel kit? I went to the bearing buddy website. It did not give me very much info. Do the just attach to the wheels to make greasing easier?

I haven't seen any e-15 stations in Denver. There are all kind of e-85 stations. Any thoughts on how that runs in our bikes? Pros or Cons? Dave

A little late on the thread. I lived in Phoenix for 4 years and rode daily to work all year round. In the summer it would be an easy 110 + on the ride home. Sometimes 100 in the morning. I constantly used a camelback. Drank it even when I wasn't thirsty. And when we would go on summer rides 2up it was easy to share the hose with my wife. We also had the cooling scarfs. I rode a Suzuki C50 water cooled.

Sorry Canadad, I didn't buy them. I was just looking and seeing if they would work. I had thought about putting the RSV trunk on my RSTD, but I decided it would be easier and cheaper to just build and use a trailer. -

We are planning on going in the summer of 2013. Going to pull the trailer up and camp somewhere around Rapid City. Then do day tours from there for a couple of days. Really looking forward to the trip. We live in Denver so maybe one day to get there. -
Yea probably for me too. But I thought I would run it past you guys first to see what was up.

If I can't get any info or parts from whoever, It is coming off and I am buying a hitch from Carbon One. Maybe someone else would want to buy it from me for some new hitch design experiment.

From the bottom of the brackets, it is 7/8" to the bottom of the fender. The top of the bracket is slightly above the bottom the fender. From the screw hole to screw hole across is 9 1/4" . If no one has ever seen anything like it, I guess I can try to contact the dealer that I bought it from and see if they can give me the PO info to see if they have any left over parts.

I have non of the tools to do any fab work. It looks like it might be aluminum. Would that be strong enough. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 2

Hi, I have been looking at the trailer hitches available for my 06 RSTD and they all come with the round bar all the across to connect to the saddlebag brackets. But when I look at my bike, I see 2 bar/brackets with threaded holes in them. I have attached 2 photos of the bars. Does anyone know what is supposed to be attached to these threaded holes? Thanks
