Test fitting on trailer

Over the last three months I made an overland trailer out of a 30 year old- 5x8 cargo trailer. I saved a spot on the front for the bike.

Excellent! I like the way you think.

That looks to be quite a nose weight on the hitch!

I bit more than I had planned. I moved the axle forward 8 inches, but 12 inches would have been better. There is a 20 gallon water tank behind the axle that helps. The tongue has about 400-500 pounds with the bike, but the truck is rated for that and has extra leaves in the rear springs.
