May I suggest that you use a hemispherical joint for the connection of the trailer to the bike. As opposed the the regular ball hitch, the Hemi joint, like on your shifter linkage (linkage turned side ways) will allow the bike to lean to its fullest without binding like a ball hitch would.

Only in America!

Does anyone know of a company selling used caskets? Looks like building one is just a matter of bolting a casket to a small flatbed utility trailer.

Used caskets are kinda hard to come by unless ya got a shovel. I was able to find this one through a buddie that knows someone that works at a casket company. Its brand new, just a few flaws in the finish, it even has the pillow and mattress in it and all the frilliey crap. I am going to start working on it in the next few weeks, I have got to get a 68 charger out first that I just put quarters on. I will try to do some in progress pics.

Used ones don't smell very good either.

I used to get paid to destroy used caskets. It was not a pleasant job.

I always wanted to get one and put a gas grill in it with a cooler, so when you stop off on a long ride you can fire it up and eat.,,
