Kendon 2 place trailer
I am looking at a Kendon 2 up trailer. I would be towing a 14 Ultra Limited and a Kawasaki Voyager 1700. Anyone with any experience towing these? Kendon says no problem, would like some real world input. Thanks Bob

I have the single trailer and love it. It is the model that compresses when riding up to prevent bottoming out. I too have a '14 Ultra. A buddy of mine has the double. My buddy has a Fat Boy [I think] and a Street Glide. Naturally, the first thing you should check is that you are not exceeding the towing weight of the double. I'm guessing your 2 bikes will be fine. An added bonus, evidently because of the type of suspension on the double, it can be safely loaded and remain balanced with only 1 bike. I believe Kendon suggests loading on the left side due to more potholes normally being toward the curb-side of most roadways. My buddy hauls 1 bike on his double quite often and has never had a problem [except having his license plate fall off due to his own screw-up].

Just picked up a 2015 dual kendon. Loaded a 15 Ultra and a 16 RGU. Went on a test run with the bikes in tow because we trailer to denver in two weeks. The darn thing is true and just glides along. I have zero worries. Now, if I could just get used to loading the darn bikes....sure it will come in time. Is yours a ride up?

I had a Kendon 2 up that I hauled a 09 Ultra and my wife's Chopper..towed great , liked the folding up feature and roll away storage..the hardest trailer to load,never felt comfortable loading it and finally sold it
I have an '03 single, and is still the best trailer I've ever seen. I absolutely love mine. Stands up in you garage, and only takes up 26" of space.

I have owned 2 of these great trailers. Both were 2 up but have only used for 1 bike at a time. I paid 450.00 for my current one but it was used. The only suggestion I would make is to keep ball hitch as low as possible. They track much better when level.

But not too low. The instructions on mine were to have the hitch at 21". Which, as you suggest, is probably the point that the bed is level. Also, if the bed is too high, the bike wants to roll out of the chock and it puts undue strain on the forward tie-downs. If the best I can do is to get the hitch at 20" or 22", I opt for a slight down orientation - this uses gravity to aid in holding the bike forward.
