Great idea for a tractor part but pro tip Don't have your hitch setup bolted to your swingarm Always mount your hitch frame to the motorcycle chassis The swing arm needs to travel without the hitch frame
Yes. That makes total sense. So far, I haven't had any issues. But it's not like I'm hammering single track with the trailer attached. Thanks for the pro tip!
I've grinded plenty of times with lots of flash... I'm talking about my shoes. I cut the 30-minute scene of unstucking my hand from the Heiman.... joint.
I'm gonna dew this dew to haul my 12ft Native Slayer fishing kayak around these sandhills .. hell fyeah!! Slayer kayak will make a great beer cooler transport!! Definitely gonna need a longer heimi joint thingy tho
@@OffGridandWhiskey Thanks appreciate content and inspiration ... I'll twist a top for ya! Sawmill, DR, Tdub, JD dozer and shophouse .. you've inspired much!!
I have been thinking about making a trailer and hitch for my bike. I want/need to make everything from scratch. I can not find a manufacturer that makes a hitch to fit my bike. The only thing that will be premade is the axle and suspension. For the trailer's body, I will use a large car-top carrier... Wish me luck. ( 2004 Honda Shadow Ace, VT 750 )
I'll definitely look into shocks. You never know what kinda rockin happens. Especially on the A,B,F abd C lines. 1st, I wanna put a pair of 33" Buckshot Mudders on and a pair of truck nuts off the rear.
By buckle, do you mean turn buckle? It's a Category 1 Top Link by CountyLine. 20" long. 3/4" ball joints. 1 1/8 NC threads. ua-cam.com/users/shortstzuoWD-MFuo?si=_eCZyPm56d0ZW5BF
It seems you’ve lost your balls. 🤔 Much better though. That spare tire looks kind of low, you might have to move that eventually for trails but I think the home joint option is pretty cool. I think you’ll need truck nuts for the trailer as well. 🤔
Still waiting for my ball to drop. Finally, someone noticed the low spare tire. That has to go for sure for clearance, Clarence. I gotta buy truck nutz!
@OffGridandWhiskey It's crazy to pay 200.00 dollars for swivel hitch. I looked at top links today to see what I can come with for MC camping trailer. Of course people will blow you out for saving money.

First time, watching welding or grinding, I had to put on sunglasses.....because of the shoes the guy was wearing. Super glue in genius !

Noice! You gotta have the hemi joint. Just one slip, and there goes the whole shootin' match. Dew it!

I think some grease on the threads would be a good idea.
Good idea. I'll do that. Thanks!
Thanks for the creativity. Definitely stealing that idea.
Solid editing, flow and energy. 👊😎
Hey. I really appreciate hearing your compliments. Thanks! It's a ton of work to film, edit, and produce content. Stay tuned for more!

Good luck! Hope it works out. I like my setup. It's definitely worth it.
Im building a hitch for my cbr600
Awesome....
Thanks! It works great.
Very slick.
Thanks! Still working great. Very solid.
Great vid , thanks .. need to know where to get the heim-joint from. i searched Tractor Suppy but could not find it.
Thanks for watching! I just checked my local Tractor Supply. CountyLine Adjustable Top Link Category 1 in stock. $59 bucks now.
Have you thought about installing some small shocks for the carriage axle/wheels?
Might be good for those really rocky and bumpy A, B and F lines.
I'll definitely look into shocks. You never know what kinda rockin happens. Especially on the A,B,F abd C lines.
1st, I wanna put a pair of 33" Buckshot Mudders on and a pair of truck nuts off the rear.
Totally cool
Thanks! I'm having the hitch reinforced to safely tow the Harbor Freight trailer. Stay tuned for more on that. Appreciate you watching!
Hey mate, what do you call the buckle please? Have you got a link available please?
By buckle, do you mean turn buckle? It's a Category 1 Top Link by CountyLine. 20" long. 3/4" ball joints. 1 1/8 NC threads.

When you are not using the Heim Joint, could I use it on my tractor on the 3-point hitch. I lost mine.
$38 dollar an hour rental.
Good work, Dude! Looks secure and solid. Now, as you are a man and you installed the Heim is it now a Heim-man? And did you pop it sliding it in? 😎
Thanks! It felt like the 1st time. HE-HEIM-MAN. "I have the power to tow."

You don't really think the hymen is a joint, do you?
I'm pretty sure it was a joint of choice for Cheech & Chong.
Why are your bolts left hand thread?
That's an illusion. My camera films everything backward. I need to fix it someday. Or upgrade a new camera. Appreciate you watching!
Cool , that clears that one up . I thought it might have been a crazy Canook thing? Regards Tony from Australia!
Far out... Australia. Bells Beach. 50-year storm. 'Point Break'
And many many many more equally as good as Bells! Lived near Noosa for 15 yrs! Seems like you know some things? Regards Tony from Australia!
Everything I learned about Australia came from Mad Max and the Ronnie John's Half Hour. 'Harden the f*#k up!' Lol
Most dangerous thing i see is spare hanging on the bottom.
I agree. I unbolted it and put the spare inside the cargo space.

I paid $80 tops at Tractor Supply for the Heim and accessories. Works great.
