moto-mule a cargo trailer to pull behind your dual sport motorcycle - Page 3

Got mine today! Can't wait to get it hooked up and take it on a test run!

Cromoth · 11-29-2011, 06:18 PM

Quick ride tonight & though it's only the frame, it followed my every turn. Feels good. Pix later as the tray maker is having some time with it. Great fit & finish, but we'll see how it holds up to trail dings...thanks MrBracket !

Got yours here waiting for you!! I hope you do get to stop by, it would be fun to hear some of your stories!! If I ship it to you, I'll take more care packaging it. I had a couple get dents in the fender during transit.. Definately gonna get that resolved!!

Mounted.

Still need to get my Actionpacker to finish it off. I must say I'm very impressed. Went together easily, fits like a glove.

My grandpa, who lives next door, saw me outside mounting it and came by to take a look. At 81 years old, never having seen such a contraption, he was perplexed. "Lord, Lord, somebody's always comin' up with somethin'..."

One quick note, i'm sure the rest of you have thought of this, but i'm too dumb. Backing up is...uh....challenging.

I've driven trucks with traliers, but never a motorcycle. Same concept.

It's factory. Had to replace the castle nut/cotter pin with a lock nut to allow the skewer to pass through, but it is hollow.

Just ordered the trailer. Yee Ha got a 3 week trip planned next year for RMAR and Westfest this will be perfect. Just a point of interest, I found prices ranging from 35.99 to 235.49 for the 1172 box. Weird

Yeah I just left one of my local Lowes and they didnt have it. They did a few weeks ago.....

duanew1 · 12-02-2011, 05:32 PM

You guys waited a while to get you Action Packer didn't you. I would have set out to find one the second after I put my order in on the Moto-Mule. I would have then set it behind my bike and imagine what it would look like.

Hmmmm. What can I sell to get some extra money? I want one.
