Hi, For what its worth, this is what I did to build a carrier for my Goldwing trike.

I purchased a new aluminum carrier that was meant to be used with a regular SUV or pickup. I think I paid $49 for it. It was pop rivited together which made it easy to take apart. I used a drill to remove the heads of the pop rivits. I reduced the size to fit my trike and allow the tail lites etc. to easily be seen, then pop rivited it back together. I did the cutting with a regular hack saw. I purchased a square piece of tubing that fit my reciever hitch, then made the adjustment necessary to give me the clearance I needed from the road surface.

I use the carrier for hauling the lighter items, sleeping bags, tent etc. The heavier items are carried in the trike compartments which helps to distribute the load better.

If you have a standard 50mm 2" towball you can make up one of these racks.

Hopefully all items are available in the states.

You purchase a bicycle rack of the type that clamps onto the towball. These are really strong and have a secondary clamp.

Thats the main rack clamp on the right side picture below. It is cut donw in size so it doesnt hit my top box.

The next bit is made from a step for a 4 wheel drive of the type that hooks over the wheel to enable you to reach the roof of the car. Turn it upside down.

The blue strap is insurance but the unit is very strong. We've had a 25kgm sports bag on it for 1500 miles without a problem.

And it folds up.

The beauty is it only takes a minute to put on/off

I gave the dimensions that I needed for our cooler rack and "meredog" built a OUTSTANDING rack!! I also gave him the size of the receiver that was on the trike. We got it in a very timely matter at a very reasonable price, painted with a nice coat of gloss black!!ThumbUp

1 1/4" and one that fits a 2" receiver hitch. Measures 20" deep by 36" wide.

Harbor Freight also.
Hitch Cargo Carrier - 500 lb. Capacity

I removed the ball and had a 2" reciever tube (about 6-8") welded to the bar where I removed the ball from. Then bought the aluminum rack from harbor freight which you will need to remove about a foot of the tongue so it fits closer to the body. I also installed a couple of stop/turn lights on the back of the rack. Before you weld the tube on the bar, make sure the hitch installed is level. Mine was angeled down and I had to have the hitch heated and bent up slightly. Adding a shim to begin with would have been easier. The tongue weight is 100lbs so cutting off some of the rack tongue reduces the weight by about 5lbs and brings the load closer to the trike.
