Travel Trailer Assembly
Your Trailer Parts:
If you purchased a
TravelTrailer with your bike,
you should have two trailer
wheels and two yellow felt
bags with the tongue and axle.
The bottom of your TravelCase
should have three holes drilled
in it if you ordered the trailer
with your bike. If you ordered
the TravelTrailer system
separately, you will need to nd the three dimple marks in the
bottom of your case and drill them through with a ¼” drill. Please
note the hole for the tongue (in contrast to the two holes for the
wheel axle) is offset slightly. The reason for this is for the telescop-
ing handle. There is a cable running down the center inside the
aluminum tunnel; offsetting the bolt allows the bolt for the trailer
to pass through the aluminum tunnel without striking the cable.
Remove Thumb Nuts
Remove the parts out of the felt
bags and remove the thumb nuts
and one of the washers from
each of the three threaded bolts
(leaving one washer over each
stud post).
Install the Trailer Tongue
Turn the TravelCase upside
down (while closed). Slip the
hollow end of the tongue over
the end of the T-piece. Take the
trailer tongue and insert its bolt
through the corresponding hole
on the travel case (through the
aluminum tunnel). Note: The
gentle curve in the tongue is
located on the same side as the
side latch. Fig 3. Install trailer tongue.

Remove the clevis pin and
bolt from the socket of each
end of the axel
5. Add Thumb Nuts
Carefully stand upthe case
and open it. Inside the case,
place one at washer and
one thumb nut over each
threaded bolt and tighten
them.
4. Attach Trailer Axle
Connect the Axles Slip the
open ends of the axles over
the “T” of the T-piece. Each
axle will have a threaded
bolt with a thumb nut and
a at washer. Pass the
threaded bolts through the
holes on the case.

7. Install the Trailer
Wheels
Remove the trailer pin
fromone axle. Insert the
axle bolt through the
recessed bearing side of
the wheel. Once the bolt
is in the wheel; the head
of the bolt should be ush
with the wheel, it should
not stick out. If the bolt
head sticks out, the wheel
needs to be ipped around
to the other side.
8. Insert the Axle
and Wheel into the T
Piece.
Note, both the T piece
and the axle have a small
hole in them, you will be
lining up these holes and
then placing the wheel pin
through both holes.
9. Insert the Clevis Pin
Insert the clevis pin
through the hole in the axle
to secure the wheel. If the
clevis pin does not readily
slide through the holes,
try rotating the bolt 180
degrees to provide better
alignment of the holes.

spring closed, add some light
lubricant such as TriFlow or
WD-40 to the coupler.
