for OP, would this be custom mounting hitch or something manufactured already?

Something manufactured already would be ideal... if I could find who does such things and for what bikes.
Like I said googling doesnt even turn up anything, it thinks I want to put motorcycles onto a trailer.

Euromodder, that looks almost exactly like what I want in a trailer, yes. Something about that size, for mounting a car carrier on, just perhaps with something like a roof rack on top of the carrier (or say four 'postholes' in the corners around it, on which I can add a second frame on top of it to ease hauling sheet goods) and a slightly longer toungue(?) so that if I stick 4x8 sheets of styrofoam on top of the roofrack I can still maneuver well. Toungue weight shouldn't have to be heavier as long as it's balanced to the center of the axle roughly.
But then the trailer idea I sort of already had ideas for, it's the mounting to the bike part that i'm still wanting to figure out.
I see there are some pictures of it but I don't fully understand "cycle anatomy" so I dont fully understand where it's attaching and why... is there any reason a similar hitch shouldn't work on either a Kawasaki Eliminator 125cc or a Ninja 250 for instance? (despite the fact neither will be highly recommended tow vehicles... duh! :P )
Actually someone else did
for a trailer which is just the harbor freight 4x4 one apparently, but hauling big awkward yet not too heavy things like that with a small bike (or even a scooter) is what I have in mind.
