Trailer Tire Conversion

Mike Bodisch · 2016-03-01T23:47:40Z

My Yamaha V-Star/Velorex 562 rig eats tires. It has gone through two new tires in less than 5,000 miles. Have discussed this elsewhere on the forum. She is in the shop right now and tomorrow we start the surgery. Got ahold of one of Lonnie Cook's conversion units and will begin the swap out. Hope to takes some pictures and post notes about progress here. Don't know how detailed I can get since organizing that rally set for April 2nd is burning up a lot of my time. Wish me luck. Mike in MS :O

Lonnie, your conversion kit arrived yesterday. Thanks a lot for getting it out to me so quickly.
It certainly is MUCH stouter than the stock setup, which looks frighteningly spindly by comparison.

Lonnie, I've installed the conversion kit and a 12" trailer wheel/tire. Do you have recommendations for air pressure in the tire?
