I had some left over aluminium channel that I had had made. Cut some up and welded it together to form a 90 degree angle which I then screwed onto the trailer. A short piece was screwed onto the floor at the back to hold the rear wheel. MAke any sense? Remove the three screws and out she comes. It’s a trailer, so speed-holes are okay!

I.ve got a couple of meters of 4mm channel which I’ll try and cut up to make a frame.
Did you do anything with the holes in relation to rust prevention ?

My budget set up uses a piece of gal purlin at the front to hold the wheel straight works fairly well.
If you had a matching piece where the rear wheel sits it would be better.Then you could run a long channel and bolt the gate up if youve only got a 6×4, try second hand building supplies they are good for odd stuff.
Weld some rods onto the nuts so you can convert back to box for all the other box trailers work.Cheers
My DRZ now rides proudly in my 7×4 box trailer, all i did was welded 2 U bolts at the front,,1 each side, and then when I put my home made fork saver in , I just have to mover the rear to one to shut the tail gate, without the fork saver it fits neatly in the trailer,,I havent had any drama yet.
I didnt put any chanel in to hold the wheel as the tie downs should not let it move and a quick rope around the rear wheel to the trailer fixes that end,,
By the way thats her on the trailer for nundle this weekend ,,,,sad hey but I`m keen

i just looked on ebay as there is usually 1 or 2 on there but no cigar.
this way you dont have to drill holes in the trailer.
How about a quick sketch, something better than ya tug rope sketch though:P
Spose if me bike was orange i would have to lay it down and put a tarp over it. :laugh: :silly: :laugh: :silly:
