Un-sprung Weight - Wheel attachment
Yes - of course it adds to the un-sprung weight of your rear wheel and as such will affect the handling - just like luggage in the picture below affects the handling...
Remember the trailer is the ALTERNATIVE to the picture above - I've done both - I know which one rides better and feels safer...
Trailer Body
Single piece fibreglass molding for ultimate rigidity, lightness and strength. Purpose designed and made by a local company that also manufactures fibreglass Formula One components. Highly complex 7 part mould allows the body to be made in one piece for maximum strength and durability. The body and lid on their own weigh just 16.5Kg Flush fitting lid with internal hinges and flush glove friendly lock. Can be used locked or unlocked.
Colour
You can have it any colour you like! The base price includes any colour of your choice. If you can get your bike to us then we can colour match it to your bike or we should be able to match it from the paint code.
Chassis
The chassis is a single rail steel chassis and is powder coated for longevity and to prevent corrosion. The swing arm is mounted to the chassis via two steel ball race bearings. The chassis is symmetrical which allows for the wheel to be mounted facing either left or right to suit your bike by changing the swing arm.
Suspension
The suspension system is simple, robust and maintenance free. It uses a specially manufactured fully bonded rubber suspension unit actuated with a link arm - much like most modern sports bikes in principal.
Lighting
High intensity Hella lights are used on the trailer. Although recessed the tail/brake and both indicators are visible from more than 45 degrees each side of the trailer rear - complying with all european and international lighting requirements for visibility. Additional side marker lights are available as an option should you so desire. The Lighting for the trailer also uses an intelligent control system. This means that the trailer lights are completely independent of the bikes wiring system and will not affect any indicator repeat rates, bulb failure or ABS functions and will work with the latest KTM, Ducati and BMW CAN-bus equipped systems.
Bike Fitments
Not all fitments will be suitable for every bike. We are however working hard to make our trailer available to anyone who would like one.
Two tow pivots are attached each side of the rear axle bolt by passing a threaded rod through the centre. The rod is centred by two bushes.
We are working on a solid rear axle fitment. The drop plates we designed are not working out as we had envisaged - so we are still working on this one...
- Standard Tow Ball Replacement
We will shortly have our tow Vee available as a direct replacement fit for the standard UK tow ball mount.
We are working on a single sided swing arm fitment - but this is proving more problematical.
There are some bikes that just do not lend themselves to any of the above fitments. In this case we will manufacture a custom frame specifically for that model bike.

Visit us
If you are traveling some distance - or are in our part of the world and would like to stay over we can recommend a very good local pub - www.thebellrickinghall.co.uk where you can stay over and incorporate a visit to see our trailers first hand and discuss fitment.
Comparison
Just remember - this is a trailer to "replace" all the panniers and kit that you would otherwise have strapped to your bike when you go touring. The true comparison is:-
BIke fully loaded with panniers, extended tank bag, top box, stuff on top of that, tail bag and bungee straps holding the other stuff.
(All the weight high up) Probably partly insecure - unable to leave bike unattended |
Vs |
Naked bike with ALL your kit securely locked in a waterproof Mono-Trail Trailer.
(All the weight low down)
Secure - able to leave bike.
|
Oh, and one other thing, that tent that you really liked and the airbed you always wanted to take with you - but was all too big to fit on the bike - it's not now !!
