Title: Found something to haul on my Kendon
Post by: Burkslaw on January 26, 2022, 07:23:37 PM
I've been in the market for a used Kendon stand-up trailer for a while. Finally scored one  last week. Got a trailer hitch from etrailer shipped in 2 days. Just in time! Found a 2002 California Stone in that funky dreamsickle orange suede of FB Marketplace. 11K miles. And it was in the North Carolina mountains, about 3 hours north of me. Well, an adventure ensued today:

Came with some extra parts: tank with a dent in top, new "Stone" sidecover still in OEM wrap, original footpegs (which I will use to replace the floorboards on it now) and some other goodies I'll post when I sort through the box.

Nice bike.  You have either moved since you provided your location or that Mustang hauls ass!

Nice score.  How did the Kenyon perform?

The Kendon works great!!! Wish I had picked one up years ago. It has those rubber band suspension thingies and pulls straight and quiet. When standing up in the garage its footprint is smaller than a small motorcycle.

You sound derisive.  That's one of my favorite color combo's from Guzzi.  Reminiscent of the Art Deco Aprilia 650 Pegaso.

I need to setup myself same/similar to your trailer - hitch combination. ( both used is fine with me, I like used, cheaper stuff :) )
It would be for my Acura MDX.

IMO a Kendon trailer is worth every penny and as was mentioned in a previous post stood up takes up lass space than a motorcycle  :thumb:

How sturdy are these trailers?  There's a 1997 single bike trailer local to me for sale....are they strong enough to haul a full dresser Harley?....my HD is probably 900+ pounds.

   IIRC, Guzzi called that color Flint Orange, hence the nickname "Flintstone". My favorite color of that era.
