Luggage Trailer

I may get a rear spoiler and tie one of my saddlebags to it.

I thought the Coss's sketch of the "Bussel" saddle bag on the rear of the Elio was one of the most practical applications for some additional temporary storage space. When I find it again I will post it. Someone may want to build saddlebags.

Look up Sethodine, he did the sketch and I was talking about it.

There is some real talent on this board...and then there's me.

HaHa.....I know the feeling.

Here is said sketch, along with a mock-up I finally threw together for it.

It appears to have a little more than 2 cubic feet of storage, depending on how much of the interior of the space is used up by the metal tube structure.

I just ran across this.....I bet we see many rigs like this behind Elios.

Neat concept. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Seth! I envision something similar, only "hitch mounted". Since I plan on making a trailer and (buying or making) a trailer hitch, a hitch mounted box would be a natural addition.

Great looking trailers but they cost half as much as the Elio. Too expensive.

YES! lots of conversation about the Harbor freight trailer. It seems to be a low-cost/ high-value favorite among the tour bike owners. Many folks that own it are happy to share the list of upgrades they recommend. Last time I read the customer reviews (on Harborfreight.com) I noticed, many of the reviewers listed the upgrades they had performed.
Great trailer after a few improvements...IF you want a 2-wheel "wide" trailer.
