Hey all, I'm a newbie here and would like to introduce myself. My name is David and I live in so. Nevada. I recently pick up a very clean 86 GL1200 and decided to build a trailer for it. Having many years experience as a custom fabricator I went for the aluminum and stainless steel approach. It is 4' long and 28'' wide on the box. Made from .125 alum. and is all tig welded. The draw bar is 304 polished stainless steel with a custom swivel hitch using a brass bushing. All lights are LED as well ass the cargo light inside. The lid is made from .125 tredbrite and has a luggage rack built from chromoly aero strut as is the front cooler rack. It weighs about 110 lbs. and tows very well. I got the idea from reading threads on this site and it has paid off. My wife and I just returned from a 1100 mile trip and the extra room make a big difference. We also do our shopping and the looks you get loading an entire shopping cart into it with a 50 lb. bag of dog food on top. Here are a few pics.
