Hitches/trailers are for Goldwings. ;)

Saw one on a C14 too at a COG event in KY

No unfortunately after the 2010 National rally Jimmy washed his hands with the Connie and COG; very long story.  He did give me his prints for the hitch before he went MIA.  I have one of his hitches that I modified so that I can carry a small rack attached.  It works awesome for a cooler.  I was the official water boy for a handfull of people at the 2012 rally.

Would you care to share the prints?  Were these for the C10 or the C14?  There are times I wouldn't mind having a cooler along at the least.

You start a thread like this and then enjoy riding and retirement with your honorable/hero military friends over making this hitch project a 20 hour a day mission, huh?

Thanks for making me get more aggressive with my efforts towards retirement!

I'm thinking a missile motif.


I will buy a trailer hitch for the connie when they become available. The pimp trailer idea's are endless.
If anyone know's where i can buy or acquire a missile baloon, please let me know. I dont care about originality, and I really need a couple of those.
p.s, coldstreak has a real knack for photography!

Chet after you finish the hitch let's start on the design for a trailer. I love diamond plate and I met a guy in Whitefish, MT today that made his own.

Been busy working from the saddle of the '14 and GS ;D  Lifes been really rough, well, out on the trail rough!!  We are looking at starting around the end of November (Elk season takes priority early Nov).  I may drop off the '14 in a few weeks so Roy can start as he has time.  Right now we are prepping for the 24 hours of Starvation Ridge event ;D ;D ;D
http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=starvation+ridge+and+youtube  Really sucks being forced into these kinda things.  YZ450 is all but ready, all I need are some lights and some kinda battery mount ;)
We will have something that works, looks good, and affordable.

Yes, we must elk hunt first, and I do not think I am going to get my bull in one of these trailers.  :(

Keep us posted.
