AT Offroad Motorcycle Trailer

[Trail Monkey]

Adventures trailers has just built me an offroad motorcycle trailer. It will hold two full size Adventure bikes ex. KTM 990's or 3 average size dirt bikes. It will also accomodate a Polaris RZR side by side in place of the bikes.

In addition it has the following options to add to the trucks capacity for a long trip.
large tool/spare parts box
nose box with Auxilary power group 31 and lighting
25 Gal water tank with electric pump
(2) 5 gal fuel cans

here's of a photo from a week or two ago, not quite done.

next week will have full photo's up.

that is super slick..
very nice and the extra touches like power and water show off some solid thinking.

That is exactly what I want.

James, are you interviewing volunteers to go pick it up?

Nice! May I ask the deck dimensions?

I'm thinking of building something similar. Something more rugged to replace my current 4x8 utility trailer. I'm thinking more like 5x6 or 5x7. Spec would be to hold 3 dirtbikes, or a snowmobile with the track hanging off the tailgate. Would have walls.

Anyway, just wondering what deck size you figured on this.

BTW, I strongly strongly recommend something at the back to hold the rear tire in place so they don't kick around. I simply bolt a small section of extruded aluminum channel.

What type of suspension is AT using on your trailer?

Trailing arms, with Fox coil overs, with remote reservoirs.

I'd like to know more about the tie-down tracks. Are they the typical style that uses a spring loaded tie-point, or are they the type that uses the hook of the tie itself to lock the tie-point in place?
I'm very interested to find a source for the latter.

I saw this trailer in person at their shop when they were building it.. it's top notch like the rest of their trailers. It uses the same composite material for the floor as they use for their drawer system. Pretty slick!

73" by 112" deck dimension

also I have the tracks on the deck for tie downs for the rear ends.. thanks though i agree with your thought.

6x9ish eh? That's actually pretty large. I've gotten 3 dirt bikes into the 4x8 before, but it's not fun. I figured 5 would make it a little better. 6 is tons of room.

If you're going to put a channel at the back for the rear tire, I'd have them do something like captive nuts underneath. I just used wood screws into my wood deck, and it works but... you don't want to do that to such a nice trailer.

I've tried just tying down the rear tire, but it just doesn't work as well.
