I'd do a search for these and then take a look at how you can build a similar item if you're into a budget build.http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/trailer/th101b.htm

Ever driven a side hack? Squirliest thing you`ll ever ride. Had one on a `86 FLT. It`s like you take a perfectly good bike and tie a barn door on one side. Left hand turns are cool. Right hand turns will make you learn the meaning of "pucker factor".
They ARE fun, in a sick, sadistic sort of way.

Only if you screw up the alignment.

Line `em up any way you care to, if you haven`t got a fat gal in the hack, right hand turns are spooky. You DON`T set them up the way the book says!

We were cruzing through OK back in `89, and the winds were so strong, the hack with the wife and two weeks worth of gear was liftng up and trying to blow us over. Can`t lean into it when it`s coming from the starboard side. We stopped and picked up four head sized rocks and chucked `em in the bottom. It helped.

Don`t get me wrong, I love a hack, but you`ve got to be a certain kind of mutant to want to ride (herd) one.
