Carry All

[Steve 0080]

For those who can't see the value of a trailer or really do not have the need for all the room, this Carry All may be your answer. It measures 21" x 15" I/S ...with a 4" guard rail. The guard rail is the reason I chose this unit. The rest that I have seen have a 1" or so bar around the bottom. That is just not enough for me to feel that whatever is in the carry all will stay there. The Carry All was $148 to my door and came painted. Some are aware I am a bit of a freak so I took the unit to my local blasting shop and had it blasted to the bare metal and then to the powder coater. Cost $95. I also had to have a light so off to Tractor Supply. $46 later I had a LED light bar and assorted nuts and bolts. Contacted Bushtec and got a trailer side wiring harness pig tail and a dead plug to keep out dust. Got it all back and put together today. Looks good and should hold approximately 100#. If anyone goes this route make sure you tell the guy the measurement from the back of your receiver to the front edge of the fender and type of hitch!
The pic's were taken with the bike on the CS. I did get her bent over in a good curves and nothing touched.

i was actually thinking about one of those. Is it a quick release or requires tools to remove? What hitch do you use? Thanks for the info.

Steve I've thought about one of those for awhile. Rivco makes a version that attached to their hitch. I don't think its quite as big as yours. Looks good buddy and should do the job.

Is as quick as you can pull the pin! I use a locking pin so it does take a key ! I use a Bushtec, IMHO the best one out there !!!

I'm thinking this is the bag That will go here ....https://www.cyclegear.com/accessorie...deluxe-dry-bag

Are you more likely to get stopped for blocking the lic plate ? Or do they over look these type of racks? That bag looks like it would block the whole back end. Looks great!

I ordered mine after Steve posted a pic of it at the end of last week. I have a Bushtec trailer and it is great for an extended trip but for just a weekend it can be a little much so I thought this could be the ticket. I ordered it threw PayPal on a Sunday and after a few initial emails back and forth, on Monday, concerning my hitch and a few measurements, I had it at my front door on Thursday !
Turn around was great because the next day I left for a 2 night weekend get away. Gave it a quick spray bomb paint job, found a old cooler and did the same and off I went w/some extra's in the cooler. Worked out great because I was able to haul more and not have it stacked on the outside of the bike and had a cooler for ice and adult beverages for those motel parking lot parities after a hot day of riding.
It was a very good investment and will use it again next weekend when the SO and I go on a Norther Mn waterfall ride. Thanks Steve.

Yes it does block the license plate, I will address that if I get stopped and my cooler pretty much cover most of the lights, working on taking care of that w/lights on the carryall.

Now this is something I could use as well. The problem is I do not have a hitch installed on my bike. If possible could someone provide a link to a hitch that will mount on the F6B and secondly how hard is a hitch to install? Thank you in advance. xman

I have the Bushtec hitch, I installed it myself, was a little bit of a b'tch to install but no big thing.

[Steve 0080]

Here is a list of hitches. I have and prefer the Bushtec. If all you are going to haul is the CarryAll it does not matter which brand you chose. As far as install, it will take 2-3 hours. If you have a helping hand, 1 1/2 hours !!! Hardness scale= 5.
