Re: Hawg wagon project.

Wow, looks great, I really like the idea of a lift gate on the back. Have had a few motorcycle hauling adventures I'd like to forget when far away from home. I had a ramp slip while loading my sportster onto a truck and almost dumped it. Another time, the welds on my buddy's motorcycle carrier on his RV cracked and broke on one side due to the poor welding.

My motorcyclist friends immediately embraced the bus idea and wanted to load up and head west when I got the bus.

Re: Hawg wagon project.

So you can get that big bagger through the stock door? What are the dimensions on the door? The bike? I'm hoping to do a bike hauler in the future but I'm worried about getting bikes through the door...

Hawg Wagon
Love the bus.
Our club is looking at a bus and a encloed trailer for our long runs.
How much troule did you have mounting your reciever for your trailer?
Making the door wider is what we will need to do and taller.

Re: Hawg wagon project.

Wow! so clean and so sharp. I am working for the minimalistic touch myself, but its tough when its a live in office. Where did you get the seats beside the table? Are they all the same? Do they swivel? Also, how did you add/bend/cut the perimeter lip on the underside of the table to hold the formica on?

Re: Hawg wagon project.

Well, I just picked up an Electra Glide Classic...so it'll be a little tough to get into the stock door...looks like when I get my bus, I'll be doing a door expansion project....

Re: Hawg wagon project.

Mine is a 1990. Your best bet is probably to keep an eye out on craigslist and ebay.

Re: Hawg wagon project.

I like it a bunch! I would like to see pictures of how the liftgate went on. I was wondering if a Tommylift would raise and hold an 1100 Honda Shadow on the rear not in it. Sometimes we run across used ones and it would be nice to carry the bike on the back.
