I am looking for a nimble offroad trailer suitable for mounting a dirt bike on the tongue.

Thanks for looking!

FYI - stock tongue length on an M416, M100, or similar is quite short (31") - you would need to extend it to fit a bike like in the picture.

You could build a platform and put a dinoot tub on it (they can make the frame or you can go the harbor freight route) too.

Thanks for the notice Tarditi... I am trying to find a craftsman willing to do some work on the tongue and / or build a dinoot.

where are you located? I can modify my trailer to suite this if you wanted to.

I am located in Seattle, WA. That is a nice setup. I'm pondering the feasibility of a long road trip at the moment.

That's a sweet setup and good price for everything.

Actually, strongly considering going a fair bit larger and enclosed, like . Trying to find for less than a new http://hikertrailer.net/our-models/5ft-x-8ft-trailers/5x8-off-road-deluxe/, but that should provide a sense of my budget.

Yeah... the current plan is to find a space / craftsman / build my own skills. I currently live in a 1-bedroom apartment and was a ****ty welder last time I tried. There's more motivation this time though :roost:

I understand I rent too, but thankfully my parents still allow us to fab & work up there

Salem, Oregon isn't all that far from you (4 hours drive?), that's where Compact Camping is located (the company that sells the Dinoot trailers). Besides just selling the kits they'll build one custom to your specs.
