This is how I did it in a 6x12. Measure the handle bar width at the widest outside edges. Locate the wheel chock at the center of that width plus 2 inches more to give the wiggle room for the grips to clear the side wall when the bike wiggles some during towing. That is on the left side and as far forward as the chock can be located.

For the one on the right locate the chock in the same manner but 2 feet back.

The first bike on the left will be easy to strap but the second one will have some difficulty getting strapped between the bikes. It helps to be young and skinny.

The total weight of the two bikes cg should be 60% ahead of the axle line. If too far back the trailer will sway especially when braking or going down hill. If you have a new trailer check that out in the owners manual.

I put a 2" thick 4x8 piece of styrofoam panel from Maynards between them just in case.

 

Nope. DON'T do it. Good luck getting off the second one in and then trying to strap it. I have 7x14 V-Nose. I have to stagger them. I should have gone 8x14. My mistake.

 

A few years ago I put two EG's in a 6'X12' trailer. Bike 1 pulled in facing forward and as far left as possible, chocked and locked with rear moved over left a few inches, also locked. I made a mount out 2"X4" wood that reached all the way across the back of the trailer with a wooden wheel chock on the right side. We backed bike 2 in on the right, put the wood mount in and closed the rear door. Went in from the side door, pushed bike 2 up into the wood chock, used straps to lock it down. Also secured the rear of bike 2. I recall having to make a few tie down plates to mount so we could use the needed tie downs. It was a bit of a chore to get the bikes in and out but with two guys we could actually do it in about 15 minutes or less. It can be done.

 

Chalk a 6X12 box on your driveway and work on position to get the best fit.

 

Great idea! and don't get a v nose as you'll lose too much room. My bud and I get two in his 6x12 flat nose but can't do it in my 6x12 v nose

 

Good advice. I will update my post. I did what this guy recommends except I staggered the bikes 2 feet in a 7x12. Another guy says to get the wheel chocks and put them in the driveway and chalk it out. I also did this, that is why I went with 7x12 (decided 6x12 was just too tight for two bikes), although it can be done.

 

Why don't you ride the bikes instead of trailering? 20 years ago we never trailered, still dont. I've never trailered my bike anywhere.

 

I have an Appalachian that's 12'L and 77" between the fenders. If you stagger the chocks (1'-1 1/2', one ahead of the other) it's a a perfect fit. Center the chocks perfectly on each half of the trailer. Bags have about 6" from the sides. Make sure you secure the rear from bouncing side to side (3/8ths eyebolts in the passenger footpeg mounts) are a perfect way to do that!

 

And there it is. Never fails. Every time a trailer question is posted...

 

Why don't you just ride both bikes at once instead of trailering them? A real biker knows how to ride two bikes at once as he has two legs and two arms. I've never done it but I know that a real biker does!!! Jeez, these trailer threads drive me NUTS!!!! :-)
