RE: Question about Kendon trailers

I'm needing a picture of an "old style" Kendon trailer that uses square or rectangular tubing. With or without a bike on it, needing some images to build my own trailer. I'd really appreciate it. If I can get mine made, I'll post a bill of materials here for others to build theirs.
Thanks

Does anybody know what the tonge weight would be on a Kendon single trailer towing a 05 EG. And also looking for imput about this trailer. All imput grately appericiated. Thanks. Bob.

My dad bought new one about four years ago in Washington St at some HD dealer were he lived. Dad & Mom trailerd their Road King from Washington to Iowa about 2000 miles one way, My dad drives pretty fast and said he always sets his cruise at 85mph and after my mom falls asleep he'll kick it up to 100MPH

After about 800miles of high speed The left wheel bearing went out. They were lucky they ended up being close to a bigger city to where they could get it fixed. It wasn't a Kendon dealer that fixed it but they got them back on the road. When my Dad made to my house he called Kendon and told them what happend. They said the trailer was not intended to go over 70mph, and thats why the bearing seized up. My Dad and I both thought that was a bunch of crap and ended up trading the Kendon the next day on a H&H that has made several high speed trips backin forth from Washington to Iowa with no problems.
