August 2022 forum photo

This nice photo of his Silverwing and beautiful trailer was found on FB. It belongs to Rajmun Das of Kielce Poland. Other than that the trailer was fabricated locally no other information is available. Note the Silverwing front wheel used on the trailer.

Nice trailer/light weight/hitch to sturdy frame mounts only problem high hitch mount can cause....jacking up of rear of bike under heavy braking---loss of rear wheel contact with ground. Maybe real thrill.

One wheel is probably only way to go for bike/scooter-----somewhat safer, speaking from near 100,000 miles trailer experience in N America----Kawasaki 1200, 4 cyl Voyager nice bike to pull with, CB750 Honda Nitehawk ok with home made strong hitch----Kawasaki Concours terrible, bought camping trailer, pulled it 20 miles/scary/sold trailer.

If I would do it again....only one wheel!!

So then would a low hitch, i.e. one mounted to swingarm, be a better option?

mounted to swing arm----tongue goes up and down on each bump---hardly comfortable going down the road for 8 hour day. Must also do badly on curves.

I hope that works for the owner, a high pull like that looks like trouble from my end. I like the hitch point about bike axle level.

Where on SilverWing could you mount axle height solid hitch?

You can't, that's why I wouldn't.

Great photo but I will pass on the trailer. If I need to pull a trailer then I have WAY too much stuff and since the missus won't go...I don't need it! LOL

That's a different looking trailer. But I'm with Glenn on this. I ride alone and if I need more than under the seat and my top box and whatever I can strap on the back seat then I'll take my pickup.
But it is a nice photo.
