Still needs the fenders, lights, paint, etc., but it's getting close!

Looks sweet. Is that for two bikes and clamps down on the pegs somehow?

Yup. Holds two dirt bikes and clamps them down by the pegs. Much more stable than tie downs.

I am helping @kask2_6.0 BETA test this design and can say without a doubt that it is a Brilliant design and is very lightweight. I autocross and will carry a small tire trailer with a storage box and look forward to this so I can have a support vehicle *trailer* to put all my stuff when I am running and not have to worry about it getting rained on or stolen..

Here is the Steel design:




And the added weight:



The good news is the final version is going to be Aluminum from my understanding and will weigh even less ...

Trailer setup for reference:
