So, I have seen nothing on this, but am wondering if there is such a thing. I am curious about one of those small Bob type trailers,you know, the one wheeled ones. Wonder if it would fit in our hollow rear axle's..anyone have any experience with these on a buell..
Before you turn up your nose's at the idea, I have an upcoming job, that will require some extra equipment, and very extended rides, if I can make it work..Thanks

I pull a Uni-go trailer behind my geezer glide but it's small enough to work behind a Uly. Here's a rear picture of it, not very good but all I could find.





Wait a minute, I found another:





It would just be a matter of designing a hitch. I heard rumors that Uni-go was out of business, then I heard somebody in the states was building them. I'll have to do some research and see if they're still around.

I really like uni-go's hitch design.

Someday I would like to build a heavier duty version using a large u-joint on my trailer.

I looked into those, but it just wouldn't carry the camera gear I wanted to take along...great way to go though!

At 5 cubic feet of space, that's a big camera! I actually carry two kermit chairs, an XL thermarest, sleeping bag, three man tent, stove, hatchet and varius other camping supplies and all my clothes for two weeks on the road. I'm into photography also but at a 35mm level, what are you doing to require more room?

I must admit that there is another motive... My wife is post-transplant and requires space for medical equipment.

Full size pillows are nice to have along!!

We rarely use more than half of the cargo space- the uni-go's 5 cubic feet is not as open and friendly to odd-size loads that we have to carry on an extended trip.

We would prefer no trailer, but it beats no trips!!

Ok,now I understand. I've stashed a tri pod in there before so I couldn't imagine what was taking up all the room!
You are right, no trips are not an option, good luck finding what you want. If I see anything you might be interested in I'll pass it along.

Saw this, pulled by a TW200? I would think dangerously underpowered.

There was a company (sorry don't know the name) selling a single wheel trailer at Americade 2 weeks ago. I might remember that the product is in final development so not immediately available. It could hold 150 lbs.

Very interesting and informative single wheel trailer site. Scroll down on left side to motorcycle trailers. Even the car ones are way cool.

Ronmold, TW tops out around 55 mph. I like them, a lot of fun. That setup looks great for dirt roads.

I wouldn't want to go more than 55 ridin' on those bagels! They had several of those at my son's MSF course, must be very dependable and easy to learn on.
