Only constructive criticism I have is, I would put that long bolt that holds the fork of the trailer down from the top. If the nut loosens the bolt may not be as likely to come out.
Thanks for sharing your new toy with us. These are awesome trailers. I think they are perhaps the best available that you can buy ready made without going to a metal fab shop with your own drawing. I have been wanting one for some time. Hopefully this summer I can make it happen. I live on Vancouver Island where they are made so it is a little embarrassing that I have yet to order one. Sadly the cost is somewhat prohibitive & the wait time for delivery is painfully long, even here on the Island. BTW, I'm sure someone else has pointed this out to you in the comments already but, you installed the shock upside down & the main pivot bolt for attaching the hitch to the frame of the trailer is also upside down. If you aren't aware of this by now, it would be a good idea to correct this oversight. Cheers!
they are awesome indeed. i've since made the corrections you noted. you are fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world. thanks for watching!
I’ve got one that I use on my DR650 and T7 for moto-camping in the PNW. I literally take everything out of my panniers and put it in the Action Packer on the trailer, I really forget it’s behind me..
@Sasqmoto the trailer requires a motorcycle specific "hitch" contact kipmoto.com and ask if he makes one for your specific motorcycle. thanks for watching!
do they make them for road bikes ? ive got a roadking and i travel with my 90# 17 year old pitbull and space is at a premium. we managed but it'd be nice to take some more crap, like a bigger tent.
the trailer is the same for all. the only difference is the "hitch" that connects to your specific bike. contact kipmoto.com he is the manufacturer and see if he makes one. thanks for watching!
Thinking of getting one myself, thank you for the video. SherpaX web site says the are taking orders for the next month, when you ordered yours did they tell you it would take 8 months to get the trailer?
he didn't say it would take 8 months but, by watching joel's kip moto youtube videos, i sorta figured it would be at least six months. my suggestion would be to order it for the $50 down. because, when he gets to your order,he'll email and ask if you still want it. giving you an out if you change your mind. remember, communication is non existent. until he's ready to. thanks for watching!
Everthing nice , except for the connection point to the back tire, on the way vibration could press the trailer down from the bolts, i guess it supposed to have one or two pipe from up top to secure the weight, because what ever we put in the traile half the weight will be on the connection point , am i right?
never thought about that.... there would be weight "torquing" at the bolt. looks to me as though i'm at the mercy of the swing arm strength. on the other hand, the trailer weighs 30lbs (13kg) and camping gear would max at 60lbs (27kg) (what i carry in a backpack) i feel confident it would hold up without causing issue. i watched kip moto ride a motorcross track with it and hit jumps! thanks for watching!
I came to an understanding that connection is just right at all, ı misunderstand it. If this company would be here ın my country ı would buy one for sure.
You get a bill of sale and a production number , in Virginia I took it to DMV, they had the State Police examin the trailer and then gave me a serial number to attach to the trailer , it isclisted as a home built trailer
I was wondering where QuasiMotard got that for his Super Cub, thought it'd be neat for mine too, but I'm not planning on driving far enough to make use of it :D
@@wvadv I was thinking about it, but at $1000, it's a bit over my price for something I'd only use a couple times. Nice setup, though, but I'll stick with my trunk and saddle bags unless I decide to go on a long journey to faraway lands.
no i have not- im sure if i contact dmv they would say i needed one. i haven't had any time to address that issue yet. i'll keep you posted when i get an answer. thanks for watching!
maybe next year we can hook up. I’m coming up to Sandy Ville West Virginia to meet up with another rider. I got one coming out of New Jersey and I’m coming out of South Florida. We’re gonna run west next year all on the new 2024 KLR adventures, and we all intend to buy the same trailer. We’re going to go out and do a tour of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and hit all the grand parks and stuff. Stay in touch brother.
@@michaelbrady9548 sounds to me like your doing the TAT! by starting in wv. better place your order now for the trailer. kipmoto made a post on instagram about taking orders now. send your deposit whether or not. he gives you the opportunity to bail before he ships. ride safe. thanks for watching!
in west virginia, trailers don't need to be inspected. i haven't even attempted to have it licensed. to do that it needs a vin number. but before that, you have to have a state trooper look at it and verify that there is no vin. then apply for a title. i personally am not going to bother with it. but you do what you feel is right. thanks for watching!
They can’t even afford the extra $5 for a box and proper packaging. Shrink wrap it like 20 lbs of contraband, no wonder border patrol cut the wrapping.
