a trailer - behind the Honda

[rotor]

I really don't like saddle bags, not small, not large, and certainly not those big aluminum boxes you find mounted on X-Sahara Enduros.

But I'd like to carry my tent and a few other things every once in a while. Has anybody (in particular in the US or Canada) seen or used a one-axel, one-wheel trailer for the CB1100 ? Please ignore legal and safety issues for a moment. I am thinking of a strong little thing, with one wheel, mounted on the rear or on the carrier rack, which leans into every curve with the bike, good for up to 60 miles/h and carrying a small aluminum box say 30" by 15" by 15", the center bar no longer than 50".

Has a similar trailer been seen ? Any descriptions, snapshots, any good advice ? If not, any related ideas which might complement my (to be detailed) design before it goes to the shop ? In particular what pre-fab parts (wheel, hook) could be used in order to reduce production cost ?

Always safe rides to all !!

I find the idea appealing, and was thinking about it even before seeing your post, somewhat along these lines:[ul] [li]Single small diameter BMX/mountain bike axle and wheel.[/li] [li]Mass: total of 70 kilograms, with 40 kilograms max. cargo load.[/li] [li]If the above can be achieved no need for breaks, but some back/fore and up/down springs and shock-absorbers would be required.[/li] [li]No hard boxes, to minimize the mass. What has to be kept dry goes into heavy plastic bags/pouches. Cargo is strapped to two vertical frames on both sides of the wheel.[/li] [li]Aluminum alloy structural members and steel parts, produced, packaged and sold as a kit for customer/rider assembly.
