this is off road though...

there are quite a few of these, but you'll need to fab something yourself to hitch it up.

This type is made to run something thru a hollow axle.
I'm thinking we could bolt something to the lower shock mount.

Harbor Freight sells a kit. You get the frame and all the trailer building stuff, lights, tires, no tongue Jack, or spare, but that is cheap, I went to Lowe's and got a damaged hardwood 3/4 piece of plywood and dropped a piece of 1/2 in on it, carved out tie down pockets. Built removable walls, two feet tall, it carries two yards and did so several times,
Bang for the buck? Aces, baby.. it can be folded and comes with a built I dolly setup. Just cut the floor. If you're looking for a bike hauler, this will do that and more. I also welded a pipe ac ross the back and built a ramp that played on it, using a treadmill frame. They also pin down at the front. Pull the pin and tilt the trailer...

I have found that Northern Tool has consistently higher quality items than Harbor Freight. Cost is roughly 10% higher, but I have found it to be well worth it.

Suggest you compare. I'm quite satisfied with mine and, I've backed up with trailers. If the tow vehicle isn't short and quick, a short trailer is rough.

What kind of trailer are you looking for.....one to tow behind the bike or one to haul the bike behind your car?

If behind your bike....I assume you want one that has waterproof storage.

Bike specific trailers are expensive. I have seen some folks use the Harbor Freight trailers as listed above, and then bolt on the car top carriers that can often be found cheap at yard sales. (Or used truck bed tool boxes).
