hiya,
Fantastic motor and a credit to you those new rear mudguards look the part i know you don’t normally pull a trailer but is it possible to get under a trailer without any damage ensuing, maybe a daft question, but just curious.

hello harry,
thank you for the comments mate :sunglasses:.it’s not a daft question at all.when chris and i designed those wings the first and foremost consideration was practicality,you may notice how they drop over the side wall of the tyres.just like the harley davidson motorbike wings do.which could make a roadside wheelchange a bit of fun :laughing: ,however these wings can be removed in less than 5 mins.with just a 13mm spanner and two people.with regard to coupling up,no problem at all.there is plenty of clearance but texan atki’s pulling trailers in the uk is a bit of an adventure when you are on small roundabouts,unlike obbamaville,where they hardly have any roundabouts,though i did find one in florida once:lol:,it’s just too long with a 13.9 mtr. trailer for the uk roads.
regards andrew.
