Modified 1966 M416 trailer for expo or utility use. A tailgate has been added (sturdy enough to support weight as I have had my motorcycle in it), there is a panel patched into the front of the bed, and the floor was replaced with an aftermarket unit by the previous owner. Not pretty enough for...
Go into Thumpers under the Bike category for single cylinder info. Find some folks in your region and meet up with them to pick their brains. buying someone dinner or a beer costs a lot kess than buying the wrong bike!

Again, all you could ever want to know and more is over at ADVrider for adventure bikes. Are you talking about getting a twin (798cc badged as a 650) or single cylinder BMW 650 as they are completely different animals in my opinion? If the Honda XR650L is also an option consider the KLR650...

Don is right on the money on this...
I finally got around to uploading all of the pictures of my little M416 build that has taken place of the last few months and figured I would share them since I got a lot of inspiration from right here. After selling my Tacoma last fall I quickly realized that I needed an all purpose trailer to...
I was looking for a way to clean up my girlfriend's Civic hubcaps a few months ago after I saw the price for replacements and grabbed the can of Plastidip thinking it would adhere to the hubcaps better than spray paint. Plus I already had some in the garage. So far they still look good and...
