Buckster Posted yesterday at 13:44 Share Posted yesterday at 13:44 Are you using a strap over the seat, probably best to avoid attaching anything to the frame in case it snaps. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago In the town where @Marcel lives, a ton is apparently a thousand of anything, Grams, kilograms, pounds, ounces, meters, etc.. doesn’t matter, it’s a figure of speech. A shit ton is what they call an Indian Motorcycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbskull....drill into cross bracing that support the obs floor...the frame is only on the outer edge of the trailer....anyway those things are cheaply made...

To you a ton is a figure of speech for a lot of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I’m sure the trailer will be fine. It’s not like you’re going to carry tons of weight for tons of miles doing tons of speed over tons of potholes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
