Bringing this thread from the past. I am looking for one of those. A guy has one for sale locally for about $500 but it is missing the frame and canvas cover.

So I finally found one in great shape. Came with the frame,
Cover, bike mounts.

I'd like to convert the round European connector to a flat connector. Anyone got a diagram on how to do it correctly?

Since it's just tail lights, and no electric brakes and such, it should just be a standard four wire system. If need be, rewire the trailer with a 4 wire loom.

White = ground

Yellow = left turn/brake

Green = right turn/brake

Brown = running/tail light

Does the light have 2 bulbs in it? One for brake and one for turn?

What about the license plate light?

I do not have a Besco currently to see what lights they came with.. That wiring diagram is for single, two filament bulbs like an 1157. License plate light runs off the brown wire.

OOPS! Brown is running/tail light, not brake. Brake signal is sent through both turn signal wires. I will edit my original post.

Did anyone find a good set of trailer lights to replace
The originals? Everything I find is too big to fit.

Had anyone been able to find the rear light lens in the US? The part of the side marker is burned on mine and I need it replaced.

I wonder if an actual fully functional highway capable trailer has ever been in the checked luggage bay of an airplane before?

That is excellent.


I don't know about a trailer, but I once checked in a big (4' x 4' x 2')wooden box crate with a 1600 cc engine inside and had it flown in the belly of an MD-80 commercial flight from LA to St. Louis. Of course it helped that I was a employee (a flight attendant) of the airline and it was free (I rode in the cabin above) although I tipped the baggage loaders at each end for moving that 250 lb box on and off the plane for me...
