    I have been looking for a cabinet that I can hang in my trailer to store various items that are needed during transport like tie downs, helmet, assorted tools etc. Fabrication is not my strong point. Is anyone aware of a place that makes these and for a reasonable price? I am not looking for A1 quality but not junk either. Thanks.

    Ready made cabinets like the ones Sears sells for garages won't work?

    I looked at similar ones but wasn't overly impressed with those. I do need to be space cautious. Those seemed a little bulky for me.

    Hmmm. Instead of a gallows a hanging closet for those who don't want to witness the execution.

    Mobile work shop is not what I am looking for really. Just a better alternative to what it is that I have.

    Probably a bit late and a bit far but let me know whatcha want and I'll cut you a deal on fab you handle the ride and install. Or drag it out I'll fab install save on shipping and bring the bike and we'll take a ride as well. Of course we've tried to get together a few of your trips to.

    Well you never responded back to a pm that I sent last spring or so. When I went through Cheyenne I thought of you.

    This got pushed off to the side for now as I am dealing with my Sportster. I will keep you in mind though. Thanks for the offer.

    Did your schedule change?
