I will say though, that a good driver would have been checking his six mirrors, yes, that is SIX mirrors

Hi, wondered if you could let me know where to fit the other 4 mirrors

Its a "Freewheel Pullman", http://www.freewheeluk.net/frames.htm or E-Bay.
Towbar cost £200 (made, fitted and electrics sorted by Freewheel).
Trailer cost £500 (off E-Bay), you only realise the trailer is there if you clip a kerb or try fit through too narrow a gap!
LOADS, 570 Litres

Have just ridden 165miles with it on the back of the bike, was bouncing a bit when we first collected it, so called in at B&Q and dropped 2 x 25kg bags of gravel in it, was sweet then at speeds up to 80Mph

It's called "all the disadvantages of a car with none of the advantages"

 

[Udders]

I quite like it! I could get both the kids in it too.

You are confusng it with a trike, if the GS fits through the gap then the trailer follows, so once you get used to that concept filtering is not a problem, was filtering/hustling down white line of the A60 yesterday with no problems

 

[Deleted member CB]

Fair enough, how wide is it?

is filtering legal with that hooked on the back? and you are limited to sixty mph and you cant use the outside lane on motorways, no thanks i'll stick to me panniers if you need to carry that much gear perhaps you should get a car

 

[(RIP) ugg]

How dose it affect the handling of the GS?

Must pull hard on take off.
Add more pressure to the clutch.

Dimensions

The GS is 950mm across the hand guards.

The trailer is 1050mm across the wheel arches, so OK I'm gonna have to be a bit careful, but I'm sure I'll manage.

The internals of the trailer are 1300mm long x 850mm wide and 500mm deep.

Is filtering solo legal?

I am limited on speed, just as you are, so of course none of us would ever dream of travelling over the posted speed limit

I would stick to panniers too, but have not found any that this will fit in

The only thing you can feel on the bike is a bit of vibration through the footrests.

Not planning on trying to set any record 0 to 60 times so don't envisage any trouble with the clutch (the clutch on the SD900 had no problems, and they are fragile).

So your trailer is illegal at 1050mm then.

 

[Miz]

So are lots of other things, I don't plan to lose any sleep over it..

One day I may even re-check my measurement

As is the 800GS with Zegas fitted (measured one at BMF last year, Mr Plumb's apprentice was not impressed )

I look forward to watching that tactic used around Elephant and castle and along the Old kent Road.

I did not say that I would never get stuck in traffic, I'm sure that you can get stuck in traffic that I would sail through on the XT500.

The trailer is a solution to a problem, we want to be able to go away for weekends etc on the bike, but don't feel it is fair to put Bailey into kennels all of the time.

We do a few of the smaller rallies, they are bike only events, so a car is not an option.

Great for the dog, and it's always nice to have extra beer room
I've towed trailers since God was a lad...
With the Dog on board as long as he is secure, police always seem to smile when passing you...

Speeding, unless being stupid is not to badly jumped upon..
Overtaking in 3rd lane of motorway is a strict no no, never heard of anyone getting away with it .........
Otherwise, have fun and enjoy..
