Latest News - 18th August 2008
Specification updated to reflect actual dimensions from body plug.
15-08-08 - Now have the last of the laser cut chassis parts in stock. Chassis jig is being made and first production chassis should be with us next week. Body building is now underway again and that should be complete in about 10 days time. Everyone on the newsletter list will get the first pictures.
02-07-08 - Ordinary is easy. Extraordinary takes longer. Apparently much longer.
Perhaps we are making too much effort. Perhaps other peoples expectations of a trailer are not as high as ours. Just a simple decision that the lid hinges should be internal and the lid lock flush with the body (and watertight) - so the lines of the curved trailer body are perfectly clean, can cause no end of extra work...
22-06-08 - Trailer specification added to Concept page
12-05-08 - Getting seriously behind now to where we wanted to be - mainly because we want to get it right first time :-) Lots of meetings with various suppliers agreeing production details and negotiating prices. We are probably going to be a month late on our original date - but we would rather do that then rush the finer details...
30-04-08 - The second body design seems to be overtaking the first design - so we may well run with that one. Completely CAD designed, we should be able to have the body cut by CNC machines - BUT - it may well delay the launch date. Difficult decisions ahead...
22-4-08 - Sample light units from Hella are with us. VERY nice. Rear end body design now being finalised ready for molding.
18-4-08 - Light units will be arriving from Hella on 22nd April. Body shape and rear will be finalised then.
30-3-08 - Launch date 13th June. (Now later - see above 12-5-08) At last we have a date to work to. Pretty much everything is in place now. We are just waiting on the light units from Hella before finalising the rear of the trailer body design.
11-3-08 - A second new hitch design option means that the trailer will be available for most modern sports bikes. This together with the bike specific wiring kits will make enabling your bike to tow a doddle.
1-3-08 - We will shortly be taking advance orders - or rather "Intentions to buy". Don't worry - no commitment - but this will help us decide the first bike kits to release. The chassis is nearing production with the last tweaks / amendments / upgrades for production being made. We have however had a last minute design "brainwave" for the actual hitch design and this is being evaluated as this may provide a better solution to the existing hitch design we have chosen.
