I have to say this is a amazing trailer..having never pulled a trailer behind a bike before it took about 3 minutes to figure it out. The trailer took about 7 weeks to build and I went for the GT model. Very nice, very well made..the most amazing shipping container I have ever seen, great customer service and all around pleasant experience.....

Okay, poopy head, NOW I see the trailer, and the cool rear lights. I am soooooo happy that IF you are going to tow a trailer...it is a Bushtec. I have owned two Bushtecs over the years, the first one was bought directly from Bill Bushling, at his plant in Nor Cal, a couple eyars before he sold the biz to John Preston. My second one was a special ordered rig from John Preston. I have always gone with the Turbo+2 model.

I really like the trailer they did for you.

Given that you live so clsoe to Jacksboro, TN...why didn't you ride up there to pick it up, rather than having it shipped to you? Doesn't seem like somehting that the Steve that we all know and love would do.

Are they going to make the GT model with the new rear lights like this...again, or was this a special project for you ?

I agree...wanted to go and get the trailer, but time was an issue and it just seem to fit into my schedule as well...yes this will be the Bushtec 2013 GT model going forward! Anyone will be able to purchase one...this one was the first for the F6B they had done...

Sorry could not resist the 4 light deal...and yes it is done! Along with the special Chrome rings as well....

I would encourage everyone that comes to the F6B Rally in Franklin, NC to PLEASE bring a can of BLACK spray Plasti-Dip, because.........Steve has WAY too much chrome on this new bike, and we all need to deal with that...secretly...in the middle of the night kinda thing...if you know what I mean.:icon_wink:

I looked at all those pics of the bike and trailer....LOVE the trailer BTW...but all that added chrome just makes me want to send you down a road that has a road crew doing resurfacing of the spray-on tarmac, and they just happen to overspray and it gets onto your bike, to cover up all that chrome. I mean, for pete's sake, you even have the chrome spats on the bike, next to the shifter and rear brake, with the black rubber inserts, so that you boots can rub up against some chrome as you curtsy down the road.:icon_rolleyes:

On another forum I belong to, it is called being QFC...or queer for chrome.

You are forcing me to bring along my darkest tinted sunglasses, rather than my photo-grey transition sunglasses, because I cannot take the chance that your chrome might blind me while I walk past your bike in the parking lot.:icon_cool:

These are the basic options for the GT which is the top of the line for this model...you can add stuff till you run out of money...... I also bought the Bushtec trailer hitch and electrical connections as well There are a few out there for sale either on the GL 1800 site or Craig's List....

Super Sweet Steve! Now your/our trailer is a community trailer for all Black F6B bikes that we can use at any time, correct? I'm placing my reservations for the community trailer for September 14, 2013 for 6 months! :icon_mrgreen:

One word, AMAZING! That trailer is :Saweeet smilie:

Just to add to the funny comments about the chrome, are you supposed to be parking in the handicapped spot??? Hmmm? :icon_lol:

The only thing I see in your future is a matching spoiler on the bike, with brake light of course. :icon_mrgreen:

Funny you say that Bobby......I had a spoiler ordered in and was going to have it mounted to the F6B...but it would not fit,,,just 5 min ago got a response from a vendor who is trying to locate me a spoiler w/o the light so I can get it cut down to fit on the bike...great minds think alike....

Well, both Bobby and Steve are 3 weeks too late, and 3 dollars too short on this one. I already had that idea 3 months ago, and have been working with a local shop to fab up the rubber platform/foundation to mount the Honda rear spoiler w/brake light to the back deck of the F6B. It takes a slightly different angled platform, so we are forming a rubber foundation to make it work.

Here are a couple of pics of the inside of the trailer....I put a case of Coke in for reference...basically the trailer is bigger than most car trunks.... check out the garment bag!!!. Sorry but pics really don't show the volume this thing holds...it is hugh!!!

Very Nice trailer...it was on my short list....just could not live w/o matching lights on the rear...... costs more but if resale comes up, this will make resale much easier!!!!!!

What is very important in these pictures is....this is the secret lair of a highly skilled fabricator, that owns an F6B...that owns a couple Honda dealerships...and makes custom parts for many of the bikes he rides. He is a masked man...to be sure.:shhh:
