Abstract

Disclosed is a motorcycle cargo trailer having a low profile and constructed with a swing arm suspension system which allows it to travel close to the road with a low center of gravity. Air adjustable shock absorbers are provided to support the suspension swing arms. The wheels of the trailer are enclosed within wheel wells to reduce splash of water and mud from the wheels. The trailer tongue is adjustable for varying heights of motorcycles. The trailer includes a reservoir which is formed within structural components of the unibody structural system. A hitch system which reduces vibration and prevents trailer sway even at high speeds is also shown.
