single wheel trailer
anybody out there drag a single wheel trailer behind their spyder? looking for recommendations. don't really need a big one, as we generally trailer the spyder behind the RV, but occasionally a three or four day trip with the f3t and no RV, we would need a little more storage space.

For the price of the only one I could locate on the Net that I might consider towing behind a motorcycle IMO a Freedom Trailer or third party two wheel motorcycle trailer would be a much better choice. I doubt one would want to risk bearing failure on a small single wheel trailer at highway speed on the far side of beyond. Perhaps an OK gimmick for a short run to the grocery, but not much else. That small single wheel is going to spin faster than a high speed dreidel on steroids at highway speed.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Single wheel trailers are generally used by vehicles that lean,ie motorcycles. Why are you interested in this type of trailer? Inquiring minds want to know

Can't help....😦
Don't trailer but I did google the single wheel trailer and they have a bunch of them out there . The better nicer looking ones are not that cheap and must be awkward to move around with an unbalanced load.....But you can have fun shopping....

Just the thought of it puts a little scare in me. One wheel, when it fails, will put the trailer on the ground, and then the dragging begins.
Going to mess up the control of the and may cause safety issues. Not me.

SINGLE WHEEL TRAILER
I'm going waaaaay back .... I believe these were originally for bicycle use .... then they made them sturdier for Motorcyles .... I think " Jay " has a better idea though ....... someone on the Forum just had a really trailer for sale for $ 350.00 it held 18 cu.ft weighed about 175 lbs empty ....it was Red ........... Mike

I am not a fan of trailers, but am also in need of extra space for storage whenever the wife rides along for a 3-5 day trip. So, I just ordered a trailer hitch for my F3T. But I will not be using it for a trailer, I intend on using it with the Doc Humphries Rack and Pack. I had one installed on my RT, and loved it. It doubled my storage space in the RT, and had no issues with backing up. I also could not even tell it was there. Here's a picture of it on my RT.

I think this is the one
Hey Chuck, my brother in law did a little research on those a while back for his Harley. I think this is the brand he was leaning towards, no pun intended!

I am nor sure of the brand, but i was at a M109 meet this past week in Staunton, Va. There were 2 guys that had the single wheel trailer and they loved it. I had seen one local for $600 about a year ago and should have picked it up. But i consider the single wheeled ones would be better if pulled by a 2 wheeler.

I pulled one across the continent many times behind my Goldwing. Never a single problem. It was small enough to take into your motel room and big enough to carry tons of gear.

Yes, these have been around for a very long time and have a good reputation to the best of my knowledge. They are meant to lean so just not sure how they would lend themselves to a Spyder but I'm sure the people that make them can shed some light on that.
