In this episode, I answer all of the questions that were asked from my prior Kendon review. I also demonstrate loading my Road Glide onto the trailer by myself. I wrap this video up by comparing the towing performance of my F250 to my Ranger using the Kendon Stand Up Motorcycle trailer.

Excellent video. Be careful when using the crash bars to strap it down though. I towed my 2010 Voyager, in an enclosed trailer, and used the crash bars. I opened the trailer to find the bike laying on the side. All four crash bars had bent. (I know, Harley's may be stronger, but I'd still keep an eye on them.)

Hi Cue, good tutorial video ! Two comments: Maybe you should tie the front straps to the lower part of the fork so it will not compress the suspension and secondly put a 2x4 under the ramp so it will be easier to fit the rod ion the hole. 😉 Nil from Canada

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

The owners manual recommends partially compressing the suspension so that there isn't too much travel when you hit pot holes. Probably due to the lightweight trailer. I really like the idea of putting a 2x4 under the ramps. I'm going to try that next time! Thanks for the great idea!

@mikeguitarification Жыл бұрын

Great informative video, thanks. Liked your preparation and addressing the questions you received. Good job. One question, is there a specific reason you attached the front straps differently to the trailer than the rear? I.e. you connected both parts of the straps to the trailer in the rear, but connected the two straps together in the front.

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

I think I did that because the crash bars are closer to the hook which prevents the use of the ratchet straps. You don't have that problem in the rear. You could also use the front forks, however the owners manual suggests partial compression of the front suspension

We use to tie down our bikes from the handle bars and crash bars. But soon found out with the bike bouncing up n down it loosens the scraps. So tying them down at the axle is the best way. Once there’re tight they won’t loosen. The bike then can bounce up n down on its own shocks plus no load on the shocks. I have seen a few bikes fall over tied like u have it.

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

The manufacturer of my trailer recommends partially compressing the suspension. I suspect because you don't want the bike bouncing on a light weight trailer. I considered using the handlebars, but I know that they can move if you put too much pressure on them. I have also used the forks, but you can't suppress the suspension. The crash bars have worked best for me. I strap down the front and rear using heavy duty straps. I'll keep doing research and share any findings.

Before heading down the road maybe take a strap around the center of the ramp to hold them together and remove it in one piece. I'm probably getting one of these trailers and it's just i thought i had if it's not too heavy to move all three pieces together. I'm thinking the tension from the strap will keep the pins from sliding out.

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

You can actually leave the two bars in place and remove it in one piece, but it's a little awkward reinstalling. I tried it once.

My understanding is that the premium versions have a superior paint finish. We had a single and then later a two-rail, both Go! versions, and the paint finish on our '13 two-rail is well-deteriorated, with a good amount of surface rust. The premium ones I've seen weren't like this. I do find that the ramp on the two-rail is a bit short for me. The angle up is a bit steep for me to be loading a bike over about 425lbs. Loading my 520lb VFRs is a chore and my 680lb FJR is pretty difficult to manage solo. I intend to substitute an aftermarket ramp with greater length to ease the job. Otherwise, the Kendons are by far our favorite trailers for our bikes, they are a cinch to store and tow very easily, even for our smaller SUV.
