Best enclosed size for 2 bikes. 6 foot or 7 foot wide?

[powerjunkie]

I am going to haul a harley and busa on this trailer. How hard is it to load into a 6' wide trailer vresus 7'. I'm sure it's easier, but will 2 even really fit well in 6' wide? Thanks!

Well, outside measurements from mirror to mirror is about 3 ft, so a six ft trailer will be tight. You can do it, but it will be tight. I used to have a 7ft wish I had an 8.

I have a 7' enclosed. I wouldn't want it any tighter.

If you have a bagger, they're easily over 3' at the bars. You may be able to get them in a 6', but you'll probably wish you had 7'. Or more.

Go with the 7', when I go out of town to race I typically bring my Valkyrie along with my Busa. With a 7 footer it is tight. I am sure I could do it with a 6' but why?

get the biggest one you can haul reasonably The 6' could probably do it if you had it long enough to stagger the bikes, the 7' will be tight but doable side by side, an 8' will give you room to walk around and tie them down various ways. If you go over 12' long I'd seriously consider a dual axle for stability, tracking, saftey, etc. Anything 14' and longer you almost have to have the dual axles. I have a 7x16 + vnose and can comfortably haul 4 busas, including 2 stretched ones. I use baxley chocks and e-track for my tie down setup. I've actually thought many times how nice an 8' wide version of my trailer would be and realizing that I get about 9mpg loaded hauling... eh the extra width isnt going to kill me that way
