That website has a lot of high quality brochures and info on accessories i stumbled across looking for vintage trailers for the BIG RED / TRX250.

Does anyone have photos or know of the whereabouts on this trailer? I am either interested in hunting one down, or trying to duplicate one.

The photo very unclearly says "For heavy loads, this Canadian-Made Hondaline trailer lends a helping hand. All Steel constuction with detachable tailgate and wide track floatation tires for added traction and stability"

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I of course, will be continuing to research this.

I've seen a lot of people ask about these. I've seen a couple paint them red and put some Honda decals on it.

If you ask me your better off buying a trailer, painting it red, getting someone here to make the decals to match, putting on the wider tires, and saving yourself a lot of time and potential money.

You can get a brand new one for $100-130. Granted they don't come with the heaviest gauge metal but still. Which one you get is your choice. Buy an old tractor one off someone and go from there.

I've never seen anyone since I've been here that found one. Unless it slipped past me.

I do very much. It should be stickied on the front page here. I should have known it would be a member here.

Crazy70man.... LOL. I am going to make it to trikefest one of these years.

That trailer looks like an old IH Cub Cadet cart. Not the most sturdy of carts with thinner metal. Find a John Deere 80 cart
and paint that one red. They have the bigger tires and are tough!

I am most likely going to find a cart and manipulate it to look just like the original. The hard parts are, the back of the trailer is up swept, the bends will be difficult to make since it cant be done in one break, which confuses me a bit as to how the original was made, also, the under carriage is unknown to me. These are just a couple reasons why I wanted to do some research on it before i jumped in. I understand I can just get some common one and paint it red and slap some stickers on it, but I would like to be more thorough than that. It also seems that they didn't sell a whole lot and i have only found one case online where "a customer mentioned he had a Honda trailer from back in the day". But, If there is any chance to see one, I figured I would try on here. Thanks for your help.

That is definately interesting. Would be harder to reproduce, but I really like it.

ive got a couple extra matching tires with not so great tread I planned on making a trailer for my big red with. I am also wondering about the undercarriage and axle stuff. i picked up an odd little trailer axle that is pretty rough i will probably use it to start from. I wonder if you can float the whole kit and caboodle....

This is the trailer I use...
