Hey nice job on the set up, Kris.  And good pix, too.  Thanks for that - I've been trying to find some pix of trailer interiors to use as a guide to setting mine up.  

Where'd you get your e-track from?

     You should be able to get E-track at a local heavy truck supply or motorhome/trailer business. They sell horizontal and vertical E-track with the difference between them being the direction of the slots. The track shown is the horizontal type, the vertical type is narrower and can be used on the floor also.

Kris, the trailer is looking awesome.  TShort, I don't know if you saw mine, here it is:

I painted the interior white last night, and will mount the oil rack tonight.  Baby steps :-)

I thought you were painting your side pink to match your leathers?

Hey Thanks Jeffrey.  Looks very deluxe.  What are you using for a tire rack?  I've got an extra set of wheels, and also figure on having some unmounted tires sometimes - need to keep all from running around inside while in transit.  I've heard pvc pipe recommended, but it's unclear to me how this is actually set up inside.

Egads! PVC pipe? Never...  The word "SNAP" comes to mind...

Super Dave is convincing me to use threaded pipe and bolt it through the studs on the wall from outside in, but I'm not sure how it will all take shape.  I mean,  I haven't yet resolved how it will all support the tires best.

Oh, and for what it's worth, I don't understand the "pink" reference  ???

Cabbage's "pink" comment is directed toward me.  I've been telling him that I'm painting one half of the trailer pink.  Whoever does worse on a particular weekend has to park his bike on the "Side of Shame".   ;D

BTW, your trailer looks like it's going to be awesome.  I could probably sell my house if I had that one!

LOL... all about being comfortable :-)  Plus this way, when my wife finally has enough of me and tells me to get out, I've got a place with the rest of the important stuff :-)  (although, I'm sure at that point she'd have burned it to the ground)...

Yeah, not PVC.  I can't afford a digital camera, so you'll have to check out my wheel holders at Blackhawk.
