Kendon Single rail trailer
Yes they are a pain to load.the way I load my sg is I put two 8in cinder blocks on each side of ramp straddle the seat and run the bike up while I walk up not to bad. Got to admit though this is one of the easiest trailers to pull and store. Now if I could just talk the ol in letting me have a bike in fl and one in mi I could just fly back and forth.

I had a used single Kendon that I made foot ramps to load my Ultra using C clamps, boards and automobile drive on ramps. I found that with the Ultra, aux tool boxes, & slush guard that it would sag out the suspension (Dexter Axle) on the Kendon. I bought a new axle, fenders, & spindles and it didn't help. The stresses from the suspension being sagged out actually broke a fender mount. Ended up giving it to my son to carry his sport bike and bought a Drop Tail that I feel is way better.

I have the dual Kendon trailer and haven't had loading issues since the wife helps load the bikes up. I would also agree that they missed the mark with the loading ramp. somehow mine was missing but i bought mine used anyway. Now I'm looking into welding some type of footing just in case so i won't fall off. i have a tall aluminum rock guard on ours. I had to get the center wheel fixed after a woman rear ended me while waiting for the light to change. I was pulling the empty trailer and she was playing with her phone.

I thought about the Kendon, but decided that this will be the one I will get if I ever buy a trailer that is.
I can see where it would be handy, but $2K?

I've had my single Kendon for about 10 years now. It is all about getting the bike nice and straight and developing enough speed to get it up with no drama. Not straight or too slow and it can get hairy. I always load and unload by myself and have had only a couple of pucker moments.

I use this single rail trailer, I've never had any issues at all loading any of my bikes. It is low enough that I just walk them up onto the trailer as I stand to the side, always load and unload by myself without issues.

Couple years ago I picked up a used Continental for $500.00. The seller made wood ramps that clip to the ramp allowing my Road King to safely be ridden up with feet placement if necessary. Only other problem I had was it narrows at the front which did not allow me to roll the bike completely forward. I had a panel welded into place where the jiffy rests and now all is good. I have towed it over 600 miles one way and never know it is back there.
