Okay, I think i'm going to go down the trailer route. Cheers guys. Mind you, the current way I transport my 185cc trail bike is by lying it on its side in the boot with the rear seats folded down. It fits!! (but leaking fuel is an issue) i was going to make that suggestion but thought id get burned...

im still not too keen on those little dinky ones. When we do non servicing in the rally car i carry one like yours but plumbed into a tank, running through a sort of variac (sp) to keep the tank full and the unit cool. basically they over heat a lot and become useless just what ive noticed

just to put it into quick words
the L towbar isnt the best, it will tow a trailer but ive broken them from the mounts pulling trees (dead and light) so wouldnt trust them to hold one of these.

light trailer is best

Do you really want a hard wired compressor? A portable compressor is much cheaper & more versatile... were talking proper compressors here, not the crappy cigarette ones right? i find hard mounts more versatile and as for cheap well how cheap is having one go bang when you need it? for a battery il...

yep danes about right 1 hard mount compressor and reasonable tires, tires will get you a long way and downing pressure makes it even further. Also get a good set of recovery gear. 2 cheap battery box that can be bolted down but also bolt the battery down seperatly inside. its very rare for them to g...

I think this is a miss-conception - puller fans allow more air flow at speed because they don't block out the air flow as they're mounted behind the radiator, so the air's not deflected until it's already passed through the radiator. My thoughts on this one anyway, I'm happy to hear different thoug...

Also if you fit a massive fan on the front side of your radiator (i assume you dont have A/C) wouldnt that mean you get less airflow at speed which could cause problems? Opinions? sorry yeah au falcon oops the common consencus is that pul...
