Check out the photos on Barry_mcki  Meggen, a very flash unit. He may well be able to provide some expert advice.

Hi Meggen, my setup is on a sidecar Bandit not a solo, so it is probably not what you're after.  

Can't say I've seen a trailer behind a "normal" Bandit in person, but here's something I found recently, will give you a bit of an idea about mounting etc.



There's a couple of engineering shops around that does this sort of work, try Trevaye in Bendigo.

Check out "Pull Behind Motorcycle Trailer" on eBay for some ideas on hitches and trailers.

Perhaps more local at Chapel Street, Lynbrook, Victoria is Ali-Lite who manufacture hitches and trailers for a range of motorbikes. Worth a look.

Delboy has a 12 or 13 part series on Youtube about making his own hitch for his rat-bike 1200 Bandit.

I'm about halfway through watching it now, he's pretty rough, his welding reminds me of mine - actually I'm sure he is better Very Happy
