 19 Notes:

"Thumbs up."

At first glance, just another steel box behind a motorcycle. The center of the wheel, however, is set above the lowest point of of the trailer, making for some interesting axle work. The 1/4" bottom plate makes a rigid base to build on. And maintaing a low center of gravity with the all that steel is a very good idea. Not just another steel box after all. A well plannned, low riding, and tough little trailer.

Thumbs up to you, my friend.
