If I wanted a trailer like this it would be easier for me to get it from Australia than from the US.
I am impressed. I almost bought one for my R1200RT BMW. Great little trailer. Now if they could only get it to snuggle with you after they brought it through the door--who knows??

The price on the Uni-Go is around $2600 too ,, but keep in mind the hitches are sold in addition to @ approximately $450 each... Uni-Go trailers were first manufacturered in NZ and if I recall correctly,,, mine cost abt $4000 give or take to get it to my door in Michigan and I bought mine in primer... The Mad Max trailer looks like a copy of Uni-Go but seems to be better quality.. Look at the trailer pics on both websites and check out the gap around where the lid closes.. On the Unigo the lid gap is inconsistent and on the mad max pics this gap looks automotive grade... I liked my Unigo and pulled it behind my FJR 1300 and my 1150 GS.. I haven't seen a current Unigo since the company was bought and moved to the U.S. I remember talking to the new owner and he stated they were working on the quality issues... The pics on the website don't reflect that but in their defense they may be old pics..

After seeing the construction of the hitches for the RT's (thin wall metal and installed with plastic shims, no cantilevered support in relationship to the swing arm), I do believe that I can build a better one than that for the F3. Anybody in Indiana interested in entering into a partnership? You provide your F3 for measurements and in exchange you get to test and keep the first one made.
NOTE: Like it has been stated above, BRP will have exactly the same stance with this as with the RT aftermarket hitches. They will not warranty the bike because of that. Anyone interested in doing this, PM me or email me at: roadsterrenovations@gmail.com
(And of course if Lamont is planning on making and selling these, I will cease development out of respect for him and his abilities)

Lamont has apparently designed one but felt it was too risky to sell.

Lamont posted that he has ceased development on his hitch, due to liability issues etc.

Washington State is a far piece from me! I really need to have someone local (Indiana) that can pop down a couple of times. I am also going to talk to my insurance guy and see about the cost of liability insurance before I go any farther.

But "Products and Completed Operations" coverage might just be what you should be looking for.
Thanks, Bob!
