Bush-tec
is Bush-tec still in business? I am looking to buy one of their hitches but the model instructions stop at 2017, I called their telephone numbers, local and toll free but no answer and voicemail full. I used their Contact us option on their website and they do not have email set up.
I tried their facebook page the photo I saw was from 2017. I found a used bushtec trailer but need a hitch for it. its the pin style mount

They must be, maybe they went to Sturgis. I am glad I couldn't contact them as I learned about N-line now and will probably get one of those instead.

A couple of things to keep in mind in regards to a single wheel trailer
1. Watch the tongue weight. All the weight you add to the trailer is additional tongue weight.
2. N-line lid opens from the front. Remember to lock it down, otherwise if it were to open while on the road.....Plus you need to be careful you don't bang your head and cut open your scalp on the hood latch.
3. Below is an interesting read. The point being the single-wheel trailers introduce a type of load that isn't present in a typical two wheel trailer.
"One wheel trailers alone introduce another type of load and that is torsion. Obviously, the bike rear frame was never intended to take torsional loads. If the one wheel trailer is stable, the torsional loads will be low. If there is any tendency to oscillate, then the torsional loads may become significant with respect of fatigue."

I'm a fan of the Bushtec trailers. They look good, carry what I need and the style/look hasn't changed in years (which might be a negative for some people).
