Check on EBAY one that I've considered is the "PIGGY BACKER MOTORCYCLE CARGO TRAILER" it looks to be pretty good for the price.

I too like the Piggy Back... but i think its too expensive for what you really get..... if you are semi handy I saw directions in one of the other forums on building your own trailer w/ a trailer kit from sears and a cargo hauler that you can pick up at a yard sale....
&nbsp\\;
it looks decent, definitely is reliable, and you can build one for $200-$400 bucks depending on how fancy you wanted to get....
&nbsp\\;
check out the do it yourself forum (i think thats where I read it)

My buddy made one of those home made Harbor freight / Sears car carrier trailers. Buy the trailer..buy the car carrier...buy some plywood for a bed to mount it etc.&nbsp\\; The price goes up pretty fast.&nbsp\\; Plus the trailer has leaf spring suspension.&nbsp\\;Piggybacker has it all ready to go...painted black, chrome wheels, chrome rear bumper, led lights, cooler rack, tongue stand, spare tire AND torsion axles.&nbsp\\; I picked mine up right at piggybacker so mine was assembled (free) and no shipping.&nbsp\\; Plus I paid in cash so they paid the tax.

Hope my buddy don't read this but I have been behind him while pulling the trailer loaded and for me it bounces WAY too much
