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?
-
What I did to give me additional length was reposition the center cross brace. The side rails have holes in it so no drilling required there. You will have to redrill a new set of holes on the tongue where it mounts to the front rail. I used the oem drilled tongue holes to bolt the rack.
Gave me an additional 12" for the cooler & she pulls great.
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?

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.

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

Just googled Glassboard. Nobody liked it in the reviews. And it had it's own Facebook page. Go figure.

Great link . Thanks pofarm

If the tongue length has a specific measurement for better stability, why don't they make it the correct length to begin with?
-
Is it imperative that I extend the tounge? If so why, how much longer, and what do I use to extend it?

Consider the following please. Instead of buying the full HF trailer with car topper kit for $399 with the 8 in wheels, How about the HF small utility trailer #90153 frame with the 12 in wheels. And one of the hundred or so used car toppers sold on craigslist? They are averaging 50 to 100 bucks. Different shapes sizes and colors to choose from. Saving a bit of coin and getting something a little more customized.
I plan on adding a plywood floor to mine first so I can remove the topper and use it to haul other things. (and with our car too).
My only question for the crowd out there that already have the HF kit trailer #66771, How are they attaching the car topper to the frame?

Hi All,
I was perusing on fleabay and found a couple pairs of RSV passenger grab bars. I have an 06 RSTD. Are these something that are easily added to the RSDT if I don't have an RSV trunk?
Thanks in advance
Dave

An odd question. Anyone here buy the RSTD and wish they had bought the RSV that they test rode? Or visa versa?
I really love my RSTD, but the test ride on the RSV still sits in the back of my mind. I loved it, but had issues with the top heavy. I am a small guy. I know we probably wouldn't use the cassette player or even the radio. But the looks are so cool. I don't regret it and am looking forward to some long rides next year.
Just wondering that's all.

My wife just saw $2.75 in Denver about an hour ago.
-
We were debating getting the frogg toggs as well. This put the at the top of the list. Plus, they are well priced for the product you get.

Plus, I have no idea who any of you people are, but I enjoy the conversation no the less. It is like talking to friends you haven't seen in a long while. I have found that when my wife and I are out and we carry our helmets in to a store or a community festival or what ever, we end up talking to at least one or two people about their bikes or our bike or what ever. That's what it is like here.

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?
