Also designed and fabricated a custom trailer, maybe it'll be on the market some day...

Sorry no videos of the trailer in use yet, its still in the concept phases. I'm working with an engineer to get a full functioning "precision" prototype

The V-Strom is a beast, I'm really happy with it in the few months before snow came around, they seem pretty bulletproof from what I've read and they're easy to work on since there's not much for a fairing.

hey, i remember you. :thumb:

iirc i shot holes :2guns: and poopoo'd the idea a while back, no reason to have tilting wheels, heavier and more complicated for no reason, etc

but you made it look nice, and it FUNCTIONS. that's way cool, congrats :thumb:
