The Gunco guys want 500-600 euro , just for the mounting hardware .

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...
The "horsecollar"-like frame mounts to the rear subframe (under pillion seat) and the passenger footpeg mounts as far as I can see.

On some bikes the swingarm shaft is hollow (it might have a cap on though) , and depending on the rider's footpeg position, that could also be used to mount something.
