I've got my hitch installed and I'm doing the wiring harness today, so I'm getting closer to starting on my own project. Regardless of which way I go on the trailer I know I'm going all LED on the lights, gonna light that sucker up.

One of the many benefits of the HF 40x48 trailer

We love our HF trailer even if it is just a luggage hauler and a grocery getter...

the cap was snug against the hub and lugnuts in a few places, so I took it down on the inside some with a Dremel tool to fit better.

Do you still have two of the hubcaps left? If so would you want to sell them?

My first mood was top move the whole cargo box back and take the weight of the as end of bike. Next is to rep place all lights with LEDs ands solid mount cooler rack to frame (wobble in wind at 60+ just mounted to tongue with u-bolts).

Also I'm going to remove Kuryakyn 5 to 4 wire converter and go with a chrome solid mount receptacle between bags. 5th wire in trailer on mercury hood switch before next year's Northeast trip.
