    Nice work, but those camo straps look pretty thin. I think Ancra straps are the best one can get, and you won't find these at Harbor Freight, Home Depot or Lowe's. Remember, good straps are much less expensive than a new paint job. Also, I'd pad those straps where they wrap around the forks and swing arm; you'd be surprised at how quickly a strap running over a sharp edge can wear through.

    Nice DYI Trailer you have. If i were you, I would look at investing in Pitbull Trailer Restraint System so you never have to use straps again.

      I have a video on oil change and cleaning the chain and checking adjustment, I will add chain adjustment to my list of videos to make thanks for the suggestion.

    How much space did you measure out between the chocks? I'm inspired by your videos! Gonna build it this weekend. :) Going to Lowe's now to get the 5x8 trailer!

      I measured 23 1/2" from inner bolt hole on the left chock to the inner bolt hole on the right chock. hope that helps don't forget to subscribe thanks for watching.

    Is t safe to pull on the fork legs with straps like that?

    • @SimpleSimon
      @SimpleSimon  2 роки тому +1

      You only need a little tension on the straps, I have towed my Z900 around 6,000 miles since making this video and I have had no issues. I like this way better than compressing the suspension. Thanks for watching.

    Could u use handle bar straps? I've never seen someone strap on lower forks and swingarm... any.problems?

    • @SimpleSimon
      @SimpleSimon  3 роки тому

      Bar straps will work fine, I prefer not to load the suspension for long periods. I haven't had any issues other than tires wear out on the trailer. Thanks for watching.

    Need to run strap over triple tree or the folk brace so you are compressing the shocks, keeps the front from bouncing. I hauled motorcycles for years around the country.

    • @SimpleSimon

      Both ways work, I don't like compressing the shocks on long trips. Thanks for watching.

      Compressing shocks with electronic suspension. Good way to buy some new fork seals. This isn't 1975....😅

    Did you add the wood to make a platform or did it come like that?

    Hello Simon,🙋🏻‍♂️ any idea how to clean the inside of the headlights ... recently after installing the leds on my z900... I kind of didn’t install the dust protectors properly...🤓... 😁..

    • @SimpleSimon
      @SimpleSimon  4 роки тому +1

      Is it dust or water? If its dust you could try a shop vac or blowing air into the headlight. If its water you could dry it out in the sun.

      Simple Simon it’s dust,, tried blowing it out ... didn’t work that well.. was thinking of pouring a bit of water with detergent... will that be ok?

    • @SimpleSimon

      ​@@Gtknoob It should work but you would need to rinse alot and then dry it. I did find this video of using a magnet.
