This year I have a plan to make a pav style trailer. Anyone own a trailer that could take some close up photos?

I found this site; http://www.singlewheel.com/Scoots/PAVFR.htm

One thing I might be after is a set of forks.. can anyone help?

cheers

Thanks for that, can you tell me how your pivot points work, I have an idea in my head, but to see other examples can only help..

Also, any chance of running a tape measure over the trailer. I only have photos on the net to go by..

cheers
;)

the pivot is a box of steel with 2 phosphore bronze bush's horizontally and 2 vertically . the bolts go through these to mount to the hitch and the trailer. the trailer was made to fit the body so length dont matter really.cant measure it until weekend if you still want me to

Any help? I took these at Mersey a couple of years ago, it was a neat installation but the owner mentioned that the pivot was too high and caused the outfit to weave a bit :shock:

i think the weave might be down to the use of front fork links ,wonder why he didnt match his scoot?

took me a long time to stop mine weaving ,all swivel points need to be 100% horizontal or vertical.my mount was 2 lower on one side and it was dangerous to ride over 40mph
tyre pressures make a huge difference as well
