“Upside down Miss Jane” :woohoo:
A Mr Sqiggle quote incase you were wondering.
It does make sense and not a bad idea for a few bikes. Although what do you tie the bikes to ?
July 21, 2009 at 11:44 am #144790I have one I made here that I use in the box trailer for the kids bikes, will take some pics of it tomorrow, they work great, mine requires no holes and no drama

how hot was miss jane;)
just get a couple of u-bolts and mount them to the front corners of the trailer, somewhere out of the way.
you could even weld a jerry holder in instead of one of the bike channels, to add a bit of finesse:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

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
Hey Boony,just noticed the Zuke sitting up there nice and proud in the Trailer. One word of advice mate take it or leave it,but with your tie downs I would replace your single Hooks with a quick snap fitting (forget the techo name,but mountain climbers use them) or use the loops that KTMRAT makes. I have seen and heard of way to many bikes come unstuck on some dirt road because of this very same setup;)

July 23, 2009 at 8:29 am #144814Made up me jig today after cutting and then welding (spreading cocky shit). So far its only made for one bike but i cut the steel so at a later date three will fit. I had to also add some strength to the side of the trailer where i put the eye bolt through. Also made up a frame for the spare wheel and jerry can.

July 23, 2009 at 9:16 am #144694Um, I just point the front wheel into a corner of the trailer and tie it to the tie rail on one side and to a u bolt I put on the front gate.
Another tie round the back wheel and it’s done.
Bike sits diagonally across the trailer and never moves.Carabiners are expensive, just get a couple of snap hooks from the local hardware.
You can also put the hook through the u bolt (if it fits) and hook it back onto the tie down after wrapping the tie down around the hook a few times but I’d go for the snap hooks.Ballards have some really chunky heavy duty tie downs with big snap hooks and handle bar loops for $50, they are good.
