Member Contributer SierraRider Posted April 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ok, I've done some research but am curious if any other Kendon owners or other brand folding trailers have dealt with this.........I'm planning on trailering 3 VFR's this summer. I have a Kendon dual trailer. I called Kendon and with 3 VFR's I'm OK with the weight limits. However, my question is has anyone fit three sportbikes on a Kendon? Google search got me two sites where I read that someone has done it, but I'm curious how they were set up and arranged. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted April 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'd probably put two bikes forward (using the wheel chocks) and then put one between them towards the back. Would have to angle the two in front towards the sides of the trailer to make sure you have the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted April 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2011 NO on three VFRs on the Kendon. 2 KLRs and one tiny WR250. We had to cock the KLRs way over to fit the WR in and could not get it to the chock. THis is what I do for three bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 If you've got a truck, you'll likely wind up with 2 on the trailer and 1 in the box, like the last pic above. Where you going? Sturgis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted April 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2011 Our situation was an emergency as our the WR guy had a massive HO and did not want/could not ride. We did 200 miles like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rice Posted April 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2011 What BonusVFR said. A definite NO on 3 VFRs. I had trouble fitting 2 VFRs in the bed of my truck (Silverado1500) to give you perspective. Even if you can physically fit them in, you will have issues strapping them down securely w/o rubbing/damaging paintwork. A truck and a trailer is the best bet for 3 bikes.

I have not put a bike on a trailer backwards but I do know if you put a snowmobile on a trailer backwards without a cover the wind can damage the winshield and cowling.

Member Contributer SierraRider Posted April 27, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yes, thanks for the help. It looks like I have to go to plan B........bigger trailer. Didn't want to tow the larger trailer, but I know it will fit. Hoping to use the smaller trailer, but I can see.....it ain't going to happen. answering Veefer800Canuck.......heading to Durango for some Colorado roads.
