I pull a uni-go single whell trailer behind my Valk. I like the size and the amount of gear that can be put in the trailer. I realy like that I can wheel it into a hotel room and not have to chain it to a lamp post in the parking lot. but I have spent hours tring to stop the wobble problem. It is the tail that wages the dog. I have redsigned the hitch changed the tire to a different brand and it is better but the wrong rut in the road and BEWARE!! I don't think I will buy another one. I would never think of doing over 85 mph towing it

I've had mine do (not recommended of course) 125 mph behind a Busa, and it was very solid and no wobble what so ever.

I've pulled my Uni-Go at 85MPH several times and have never had any tail wag.  The mfg says to adjust the height of the trailer nose a couple of inches higher than level, maybe that makes the difference.  If the trailer is empty and I get into turns pretty hard, the trailer will drift to the outside a little but I can't feel it -- I know that from what people behind me have said.  The fact that I can roll it into a motel room, even using the small elevator some motels have, is a real bonus!

I had the wiggles with my Uni-Go before...  I have noticed that loading heavy items on bottom makes a BIG difference. 

My first load attempt had me wiggle at 75... I reloaded to optimize the weight and ran 750+ miles in one day at 90-95 without a single wiggle. 
 
Since then, I've changed my shock bushings on the back... that may have been part of the problem also, cause they were BAD...

Yes it pulls much better if I load it with the heavy stuff at the bottom I have learned that I find that if I put some of the load on the bike rack that also helps and if we ride two up the wagging is very managable. I have adjusted the hich up and down and I think I have it in the best position now.  I have been told by a unigo dealer that to lenghten the hitch by about 4 inches helps alot. but I have not tryed that yet.
