I use a Kendon Single Rail, this allows me to bring the bike on Trips with the Wife and dog. She rides a little (has a 40 min ***), does her thing and I get to take the bike out. I have also used it to bring the bike on business trips and use it to unwind in my down time.

Friend made a block to fit on the Rail under the frame. This secures the bike solid to the trailer when I tie down at the Rear Board brackets. Keeps from compressing the suspension real far. I then for primary use the Frame and as a backup, the bars with softies around the bars under the wiring harness so not to pinch anything.

Been all over the place with it.

Yes if not time compressed and on a ride with the friend the Wife, the Dog and the Trailer stay home.

Lets me enjoy the best of both worlds.

Hope the pic helps some who had questions.

Whereas, if I want to ride for the next few months, I'll have to put it on a trailer and trailer it to the South.
How's that for a reason to trailer?

That is exactly how I tie down my Road King in the trailer. Works awesome.

If I wanted to attend Biktoberfest I have two choices. Ride for two days in 47 degree rain or trailer the bike out of this god forsaken weather pattern. Seems like a simple choice.


very very cool
