I'm thinking about a getting a fold up trailer for trailering my 2005 RSV. One similar to the Kendon 2 place. Any pro's or con's on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill
I have one and it works great I can haul my 2005 RSV and my 84 Virago.

Since I put the sidecar on the RSV I can't fit it on the trailer so the trailer is now forsale.

I need 1000.00 for it and it is in greatshape. It will haul a 2005 RSV and my 84 Virago no sweat. ( just can't use it now that I have a sidecar on the 2005.)

BUT, the real question is...can you haul only one at a time.......:think:

It appears that the trailer would be very lop-sided and "top heavy" to which ever side you load "one" bike on, since it does not have a place in the middle to ballance it out....

I have a Kendon single that I bought some years ago. I think it might be a 2000 model. /It has the straight trailer arm.

As I towed it from chicago out to West Virginia I noiticed that the trailer swung around a lot. When came time to go home, I put the bike on backwards and the problem was solved.

I also noticed that when the 2006 RSV was on the trailer forwards-facing the weight was all the way towards the back and the trailer would tip back wards. When the bike was on the oppposite way, the trailer tilted to the front.

Anyone esle have that issue?

Is this what you had in mind? Cost me about $400 - some assembly required :)

I have only towed the trailer with 2 bikes on it once.
most of the time it only had the harrley on it on the rightside.
It tows just fine with one bike on it. Does not try to tip and has good tongue weight.
