It's a great trailer. I've actually bought the 2 bike model I will feature that on a video soon. If you decide to buy a Kendon trailer, please consider using my affiliate link. amzn.to/48ocqbl
Thanks for the video Cue! I was asking you about. I noticed it’s completely different story in my case. To unload the bike. The front wheel holder is keeping my wheel so hard and I should ask help to unload my bike. I was thinking it’s a kind trick but probably there is no trick.:)). I believe it is something wrong with my trailer. I’m going to find out. Thanks for the video again.
Thanks for the video, I watched the load and unload video. The part that is a little hard for me to tell is that oh cr@p moment when the bike is partway up/down the ramp and your feet are farthest from ground because the front half of the bike is up the ramp but the back half isnt up on the ramp yet. I suppose this depends on your inseam and seat height, but how bad is it on this trailer. On my utility trailer its a horrible moment and you have to have a little speed either up or down to get you past that point, which of course makes the whole thing a bit ugly if you are moving fast enough to not worry about that one little spot in the loading/unloading.
I'm 6'1" so it's not too bad for me. The trailer tends to flatten as the bike rides on the ramp. I'll cover that in my next update video. I think you have to maintain your speed going into the trailer. It's a little unnerving the first couple of times, but you get use to it
Cue, another nice video. How level does the trailer have to be to your vehicle. Does it matter if its slightly higher. I picked up that 04 kendon double trailer. I told you about in another one of your videos. I been working on it getting it ready for a Florida trip from NY. I replaced the seals in hubs, repacked bearings, new tires and rims, torqued everything down to speck. This way i start off fresh, then do my yearly maintenance. I also welded on a jack to the front, so if i needed to use my truck, i could jack trailer off ball, and drive away. Leaving bikes and trailer behind. With someone watching over them. Just not sure about hight of trailer when hooked up, if it has to be dead level. Thank you Cue, enjoy the ride
I need a jack for mine too! That's a great idea. Make sure you have a spare tire. I have towed mine with an F250, Ford Ranger and Ford Edge. I keep mine fairly level no matter which vehicle I use. I'm not 100% sure why that's important, but I do it anyway
@@RidingandWrenching harbor freight sells a weld on jack, I think it was a good idea to put one on, I welded it on right to the hitch. When we are traveling I will take it off and put in truck, I don't have enough room to lock it into a horizontal position. Yeah I'll try to get it as close to leave as I can. Thank you Cue, for getting back to me.
Hi! We bought this trailer used. Since I don’t know much about towing, what is the tongue weight when you load your Harley street glide? I believe it weighs about 880? I have a hitch that can withstand 400lb tongue wt and 10k tow wt.
Awesome! If you're planning to buy one, please consider using my affiliate link in the description of the video. If you have 2 bikes....consider the 2 bike versions. I regret not getting that one.....but it's not cheap!
@@RidingandWrenching I know! there are not cheap! I live in utah and I want to ride my cvo deluxe inside arches national park. I thought about riding the bike from salt lake to moab but I don’t like long rides (4 hours) especially in the summer. I started looking into trailers and your video was the one that answered all my questions!
@@orangewhip115 I love my trailer. It doesn't take up a lot of space (I don't have any to spare!) it is very stable on the road AND it's not as heavy as an enclosed trailer, so it doesn't kill your gas mileage. Make sure you order a spare (or buy one from Home Depot). Also make sure your lug wrench works with the lug nuts on the trailer.
@@orangewhip115 I haven't ridden out west yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. I driven through Salt Lake City. It's beautiful....can't wait to do it on my bike
Bob Smith ,you need to change the way you unload please put the stand down remove right straps very slow first allow bike to rest on strand now remove left straps safety
@@RidingandWrenching Thank you for the video:) One of the things noted is that the wheel chock is not properly adjusted, you have it all the way up to the front and that is the reason the wheel chock is not holding your bike. You will need to move it to either the middle or even further to allow the bike's front wheel to sit properly inside the wheel chock rail.
You should be able to change the hitch ball mount if yours is too high. I don't know the height of my truck hitch (it's 2,000 miles away!) It's probably 2 ft or less.
I don't think the cover will survive the trip. The air would likely tear it to pieces. I tried a seat cover once. It didn't last long. Traveling at 70+mph creates the same amount of wind as a hurricane. It would take a strong cover with lots of straps to have a chance. It would take less time to wash the bike at your destination
KENDON TRAILERS HAVE STOLEN MY HEART
I have 2 of them! Plan to sell one after I finish my new video
Always something to see, learn and think about for the future. Thanks for the presentation Cue.
😎👍
Excellent video brother!! As usual your explanation is as clear as the 4K video you recorded in, which I highly appreciate! I watch UA-cam videos on my television where I can take full advantage of 4K videos. Keep them coming!👍🏾
Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!! ©
Thanks! I've had some good mentors along the way!
Time for the fancy Rino auto straps! Wonder if you could use a Biker Bar?! drive up click and go
I've thought about the biker bar. I'm going to look into that.
Great stuff, as always, Cue. I don't use my truck to tow in the bed. It's too bloody high for a one man operation for me. Keep up the great work!
I think my Harley would fold the lift gate in half!
Thanks Cue! Nice video and very helpful. Keep up the good work. I'll be in the market for one of these someday.
thanks for making this video helped me decide .i have 12 inch mini apes and dont see a problem now

Great demo. I should've watched your loading video before trying to load your bike in Georgia 😂 Definitely a cool little trailer.
There is a clear pattern of your involvement in the dropping of my beloved motorcycle!
@@RidingandWrenching I just need to stay away from you 🤣
@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures way too late for that pal! 🍕🍺
Well done sir. No nonsense info thanks
Thank you! I hope to have another Kendon video out soon
Nice job.
Thanks!
I like that trailer.... good video
Thanks bro!
Good Video my Friend
Thank you 👍
Good stuff Cue! I’m thinking of getting one! But I just have no space to store it…
It can be a tight fit if your garage is already packed. It's great for traveling though

I have no idea what the tongue weight is. You might want to check the Kendon website for tow ratings.
This video is what I needed! Thanks 🙏

You can't put the stand down on my trailer. I wish you could! It would make getting off the bike easier

@@KendonUSA I will try that! Thank you!!
What the ball height on the truck , Thinking my Jeep gladiator ball 23 inch height may be to high ,
You should be able to change the hitch ball mount if yours is too high. I don't know the height of my truck hitch (it's 2,000 miles away!) It's probably 2 ft or less.
Have you tried hauling a full size bike on trailer using a bike cover that is ratcheted down? Your thoughts. Thanks and great job.
I don't think the cover will survive the trip. The air would likely tear it to pieces. I tried a seat cover once. It didn't last long. Traveling at 70+mph creates the same amount of wind as a hurricane. It would take a strong cover with lots of straps to have a chance. It would take less time to wash the bike at your destination
