| Are there any manufacturers of pull-behind trailers specifically for the Silverwing? |

| Hi dwOhio,
Welcome to the forum,
A single person, fold away, light weight tent trailer sure would be nice. Quick to set up and strorage room for equipment would be nice. |

| dwOhio,
Welcome to the site.
Try a web search for Uni-Go trailers. Light, but at a cost. No really, they are expensive.

| I contacted Uni-go, but they said they did not have the hitch for the silverwing. |

| Just bought the Givi Top box, and the needed accessories for it, those were expensive too. I did check the prices for Uni-go, they were high too. Thanks for the responses. We did see a video showing a Silverwing with trailer in tow. Hope to find one that complements the bike. |

| Sorry about that I didn't realize you were asking about the hitch as well. I should have also included the link Bill is pointing at.
There is also another hitch option that like the Uni-Go is slick but comes with a bit more cost than DennisB's solution. - Joe Wolfe of Kingsport, TN makes a receiver style hitch that is invisible when the receiver is removed. All attachments are under the seat and hidden by the rear fender. As I say very slick, but a bit more cost. I live close enough that I'd consider the Joe Wolfe route, simply because I don't always like the farkles showing on my bikes.
All that said that's my choice. I think DennisB's solution is innovative, functional, and affordable, three very nice attributes for anything you are adding. Dennis has quite a few other farkles that are worth looking at. |

| Classic Industries (Australia) makes a Silver Wing hitch which is available through DMC Sidecars in Washington State. A great alternative to the Unigo is the Third Wheel Trailer. Third Wheel Trailers in action.  The hitch is not a very important problem. Virtually any hitch can be adapted to a standard ball or receiver mount. Unigo even lists that information on their website - as does Third Wheel. |

| The problem with unigo is...the wheel/tire isn't standard!If you get a flat that can't be plugged,You ain't goin no where! (and I think they're still too heavy for a SW after loaded...) Check out my buddy George's home made trailer! The wheel can be bought at any walmart! Rim and all!!! I don't know what thet are sellin em' for,but can get info if wanted! (you could also mount a big plastic box on there! )   SORRY FOR BIG PiCS! Couldn Figure out how else to post!  |

| I am building a one wheel trailer for my wing, as soon as I finish some side racks for a couple of people. Will send pictures when there is something to see.
