Spent Saturday at my parents house building this thing and have to say, I am quite impressed in the quality for how much I spent on it. In total with the wheel chock, trailer, plywood and random nuts and bolts it came out to around $330 with tax. The only issue I had with it is the grounding system. It does not work at all. The ground wire attaches at the neck of the trailer, but since it fold into 3 pieces, it is not a solid ground and relies on the connections between the pivot points to send the ground through out the entire trailer. Well those points are painted and do have metal to metal contact so the tail lights only kind work, any movement on the trailer would make them flicker. Had to run a ground wire to each light to ensure they would always work. But thats only a minor issue and easily fixed so overall I am happy with the trailer. My one question though is how do you guys strap down your bikes in the front? I have never done it with the plastics on this bike so when I did today I noticed the plastics under the handlebars gets pressed on when you run the strap around the top of the fork tube as you can see in the picture. Is there a better way of doing this so I do not crack the fairing when I tighten them down. Also, how far do you compress the forks when you strap the bike down? I am afraid of going to tight for some reason thinking it might blow out the fork.
