There are more straps in there than you can see, wheel chocks are bolted to the floor, 2x4's screwed to the floor around the rear wheels etc. etc. Went for a 50 mile ride down some local rough roads bikes are rock solid and don't even wiggle. Wasn't going to post a dozen pics to satisfy the haters I can see I should've have posted this due to all the critics. It's amazing how often people are cut down on this forum!

 

Your setup looks good to me. I have both bikes facing forward. Did not think about putting one in facing the rear. I may have to rearrange things.

 

It does create quite a bit more room

I'm not trying to cut you down. I've seen many many people that just don't understand how to secure bikes properly and wanted to make sure you didn't end up with 2 bikes needing expensive repair bills! I highly recommend double straps on the front forks also (which you have) in case one breaks or comes loose. Unfortunately that also happens quite often from people using cheap non ratcheting straps. I am just way overly cautious when it comes to hauling 800-1000 lb bikes!

 

It will fit. Here is a picture from our trip to daytona bike week.

 

we have a 7x14 v-nose and use condor chocks and e-track and are able to haul 3 baggers in plus extras.

 

Not knowing anything about you or your trailering knowledge, one other thing you really need to consider with the bikes loaded like that is tongue weight. I think you might be a bit light (really depends on axle location) because the heaviest part of the back bike is to the rear. In high winds, passing semis, sudden panic maneuvers, high speed interstates, etc, you can get severe trailer sway with a light tongue weight. Don't know your travel plans but I would recommend piling a bunch of heavy items like coolers, luggage, etc in the front of the trailer to add some more weight. You'll need somewhere around 300- 350lbs of tongue weight with that setup. Again I am not criticizing but just trying to help. Proper tongue weight is critical. I tow an enclosed trailer or toyhauler camper nearly every day for the past thirty years making my living.

 

we did consider that and it turned out there is more than enough tongue weight, the front bike is nearly all ahead of the axle and about a 1/3 of the rear bike is THANKS!!

 

Tongue weight depends on a lot of things. I have a 6x12 V-nose with the wheels towards the back of the trailer and I have to put my E-Glide all the way at the back just to get 300lbs of tongue weight. if I moved it forward or loaded another bagger forward of it, I would be way overweight on the tongue. Bottom line is that you need to load it and check the tongue weight. too much tongue weight is very dangerous as well as it can actually lift your front wheels up enough to compromise your steering, especially under hard braking.

 

Grooves I am thinking of buying a 6x 12 v nose trailer. Mist times will only trailer 1 bike, but on rate occasions I may trailer 2 bikes...could u pls send me some pics of ur set up...i did notice the 1 pic u sent...thanks
