    My friend had one at the cottage many moons ago. I don't think he has it any more.

    Man, seeing those pictures makes me want one of those so bad!!

    Hey Harleysled, if it isn't too much trouble, do you mind getting some closeups of some of the details such as the latches and hinges on the tailgate, maybe a picture of the underside showing the axle and how it mounts?

    Nice score!!! I'm excited for you that you found one. In my years in this hobby, this is the first one I've ever seen aside from the brochure.

    No prob at all Frank. I'll clean it up and get it super pretty for all of us to enjoy and then I'll add (likely with help lol) detailed pics from all angles. Ken

    You have my number man, just send them whenever if you don't figure out tapatalk by then lol. I enjoy getting to see all these pictures first, this is the first one I'm aware of being posted on these forums. So this is a rare chance to see detailed pictures. And will hopefully be a good reference for future finds if they aren't so lucky to get one in good condition yet with the obvious decals and all. Be sure to get a picture of the warning sticker on the front so we can read what it all says. I wonder what paperwork came with them. Any idea if there were titles for these? Why haven't we seen dealer setup instructions for them? I have a NOS dealer setup instruction booklet for my 85 200s. We need to dig up some history on these things, I wonder if there were ever numbers on trailers sold. All that good stuff.

    Appreciate the pic help lol. I'll take good up close pics of all the decals too. No idea on title/ownership. I'll search it well for a vin# etc. More pics in a week or so folks👍

    Awesome score! It's the real deal. It's the same as the one I saw at the Honda dealer when I was a kid. Great pics.

    Well that right there is a pretty cool trailer.

    Just for fun though if "you" saw the trailer come up for sale. What would pay to put on in your garage?
    Personally I would do 500 because I'm cheap haha, , and I am not a collector for a garage peice. But still would be pretty cool.. Nice score for sure..

    My brother and I put those together at the Honda Dealer (Big Hatchie Honda-Suzuki) we worked for as teenagers in the 80's.
    The ones we had did not have the graphics on the side. Cool find for sure. We sold tons of them. It's a wonder you dont see anymore than you do.
    I always wanted one of the POSA Trailers.

    . Hmm weird about no graphics on the sides of the ones that you assembled. I'll likely take the trailer to a print shop and get maybe 10-15 reproduction graphic sets made in case someone needs them down the road and to preserve the history of it. Im also buying a pristine Aquarius blue US90 from the same guy plus who knows what else.

    Bruce (blue27 on the boards) from blue line graphics does amazing vintage reproductions. A lot of people here will say the same. If you need someone and can't find anyone to do it local to you then I would see what he can do for you. I'm sure a few people would buy some graphics sets to put on a random red trailer to match their big red, sx, etc. Closest most of us will get to having a matching Honda ATC/TRX trailer lol.

    Keep us updated, would be neat to see some trikes pulling matching trailers in parades and at trikefest in the future.

    In the picture posted in the above post, I see in the fine print TRAILER-Canadian all-steel construction. Was this sold only in Canada? I see that the brochure was printed in Canada, so I am guessing that this trailer was not available in the US?
