I have used a BOB trailer back in my days when I was doing a lot of mountain biking. It was the same type of thing. A single wheeled trailer. Other than the weight I never would notice it back there.

$1900 for the trailer. Ouch. Seems like there ought to be a way to put together a one wheel trailer for under $750.

I've kind of played around with a couple of ideas but ended up getting busy with some other stuff and haven't followed-up on it.

I was good with it until I found out it was made in Canada. The over-whelming amount of Canadian illegal immigrants really puts a damper on me wanting to support their economy.

$1,900 .... Hmmm .... seems very small for that amount of coin. I would expect to be able to sleep in it for $1,900.

UNI-GO starts (http://www.schoolhousemcacc.com/index.php/cPath/6_13) from 23 hundred. With options it can hit almost 3 grand!

Thats in interesting hitch concept. It looks like a longer axle shaft is installed, but it has to allow a pivot. A Heim joint would work. Anyone know the metallurgy of a Honda axle?

Mark, with your business dealings/frequent trips you support the economy of Mexico, a major exporter of poverty to the US. :confused:

It looks like the use of the axle to hold the trailer on may be a problem for clearance on an ST1100's pipes. www.thirdwheeltrailers.com
Has anyone better pictures than the website of the attachment to the bike?

Didn't they put Spock in one of those when he died?
