Sorry, I hate looking at your bike.....

I want to attached my sofa to mine when I look at your seat.

Good job with the trailer though

 

Thanks for the posts. Deer hunting in Wa. state (not many animals, but the terrain makes up for it... not (either hunt up a hill or down a slope). and yes. I DO want to see it filled up and that bike struggling to tow it .
ahhh as for the seat, you will appreciate the couch seat as you get older ....

 

my other hobby... (or ex hobby, since I sold my bike)

Two comments.

First, I want that seat. Couldn't make out the writing in the photo but it looks like "Corbin". One of my big beefs with the KLX, the stock saddle is right out of a middle ages torture chamber. I know Renzaco makes a superior model but they are pricey. What is it?

Second, you mention that you beefed up the rear. Sure hope so, as the stock subframe is barely enough to support that stock rack, which will barely carry a six pack of domestic suds. Still it beats not having anything, like owners of '09 models have. Saved Kawi a whole six bucks to delete, they should be ashamed.

Have a friend with a TW200, and over on their forum a couple of guys out west have outfitted them with Cycleracks on the back, bolted directly to the frame. If it fits, it ships, so to speak. Just an idea.

 

Yup. It is a Corbin... cannot have it .. Some guy on the forum sold it to me. My wife thanks me every time she rides with me....
I was a bit lame on the beefing the frame, but there are two tapped holes on each side of the frame. I took a piece of channeled tubing and bolted it on each side. I also mounted the cross frame of the hitch right over the thicker part of the frame. I also have the balance point of the cart back to where the tongue weight is very light.
No deer this weekend though. We revisited a wilderness area that we hunted for years. Unfortunately there was a hike/cabin company up there that decided to 'yuppify' the area. it was gross. Nothing like watching an area, and hearing voices getting louder and louder, talking about latte's and cream rinse... then wondering if they would see animals... hilarious. Oh, well, another area shot.

 

Is there a supermarket with one less shopping cart somewhere? LOL
