I will be in Columbus July 14-20 if anyone is interested in checking it out

So, I've had this project for quite some time.  I've ridden it for ~400mi, it was amazing! Best bike I've ever ridden compared to the other cruisers I've ridden, 90s Vulcan 700, 2000s HD 883 Sporter(my moms), I've had a few other bikes a few sports bikes and a standard bike, I've loved them all in their own way, as I'm sure all of you can relate.  I ran out of time to tinker with it and its been sitting in my moms garage in Sunbury for quite some time.  It developed a back fire and is lacking power, i've had it running a few times and put about another 100mi on it.  I bought all of it from some guy who was an 80s shadow enthusiast and his wife said his shed of shadow stuff had to go.  The 750 has a black powdercoated frame and factory paint scheme with factory decals on the body parts.  The one in the picture is complete and is the one that I have ridden  There is another frame that has a motor, a 700 not a 750, suspension and most of the main components installed that I started putting together once I had the other running great, the motor turns over but never had it running.  I have titles for both and a lot of extra parts.  Also I now live in NC so I'm looking to sell everything as a package $1000 or trade for a 500cc street bike. My first bike was an 89 Suzuki GS500e, I miss it dearly, so something comparable would be cool.  Eventually I would like to build my own electric bike so a full fairing bike would be cool as long as it's around 500cc.

Thanks all!

89 GS500 45-50mpg

03 CBR600F4i 38-44mpg

83 VT750 50-52mpg

I need to build a diesel and get 100+mpg like these guys!! http://www.dieselbike.net/

tho some are just single cyl diesel engines with a Torque Converter/CVT cruising at 50-60mph getting 100+mpg sound great to me!!

Here is the ultimate build: http://www.suckindiesel.com/?page_id=2061 Triumph Tiger + Turbo Diesel Smart Car 0.8litre engine = $15,000 100+mpg!

Military has had these for awhile, supposedly releasing a "civilian" model, basically the same 667cc single cyl diesel engine on a KLR 600 frame. Claim 135mpg!!! $TBD...

good luck..just take her easy on the hills, and dont use overdrive..i forwarded this to my buddie i thought for sure he would jump on it but i guess not

thanks we made it! no overdrive and it added like 2.5hrs to the trip...

but the weather is awesome! im suprised i dont see more motorcycles?

Safe abd Happy Riding!

GVWR is what the trailer weighs loaded to its maximum legal weight...this includes the trailer weight....for example mine weighs 375 it can haul 1625 so its GVWR is 2000lbs

well its not listed/stamped anywhere on the trailer.

Ive decided to just drive slow with just my bike and tools in the trailer, wish me luck!

Id be scared...

Interested but two questions.

1. What's the GVW? Should be on a plate somewhere on the trailer.

2. Torsion or leaf spring axle?

PM sent

1. 1180lbs verified at a Truck stop scale

2. Leaf springs

$800?

motorcycle ready trailer!

Pics

Trailer in Columbus area now?

Pics are up and its in Sunbury 43074

someone come buy it now!!

Anxious to see some pics this could make somebody a great trailer

it WILL make someone a great motorcycle transport trailer!!!

even the 4 x 8 enclosed i had weighed around 950 dont know if your going to be able to find one around 800 but i could be wrong.....it's odd that a element with a 4 banger is rated at 1500 and my impala with a 3.9 v6 is only rated at 1000, i wonder where these car companys really base their ratings off of?

Uhauls 5x8 weigh 900lbs, i would be happy with that. some of the random enclosed trailer makers claim ~890lbs for their 5x8 with single barn door. i found a couple i'll be calling tmw from CL. the element is awd that may have something to do with its towing capacity.

So i just bought this enclosed trailer, put new hinges on the ramp and got it weighed to get it registered only to find out it weighs 1180lbs...

Im moving to NC. Bought trailer in NC while house hunting, just brought back to get my bike and stuff.

My Honda Elements towing capacity is 1500lbs...

Trailer 1180lbs + CBR ~400lbs + tool box and tools ~200lbs + etc = damnit

so i need to sell it and get a much lighter one like around 8-900lbs.

anyway...

i recently bought a 03 f4i and it has a white brothers high mount exhaust.

does anyone know if there is a spacer or something so i can put rear pegs on it??

Curious, how the heck do you get it up the ramp backwards?

I'd think that getting it down the ramp backwards would be easier.

the same as going up the ramp forwards, but it requires alot more pulling than pushing. riding it down the ramp off the truck is cake.

since im usually unloading by myself this was always the best way to load the bike in.

thanks for the input everyone, especially jagr, i forgot to take the flux capacitor into account... so i'll be loading the bike facing forward.

ive always loaded my motorcycles backwards in the bed of my truck so i could ride it down the ramp. shadows have no fairings.

im picking up a cbr f4i tomorrow, has full fairings.

im concerned about the trip home. will the wind damage the fairings if i load the bike facing backwards?

thoughts??

just for motorcycles!
