Have you tried to put your bike in the trailer yet?

I went to flea market and asked around, one guy had one he had backed the top into a tree. long story short 5X10 enclosed WW trailer $600 2 new tires $150 about 200 in repairing the top $50 odds and ends. around 10 hours of my time appears to be worth $1000. total invested $1000 average worth $2000.
I did fine two others that day with no problems I could of gotten for about $1500. most of these guys have them to haul there fleas around in.

Kewl, the MoCo spec. sheet says your bike is a little over 8ft. My Heritage is a squeek under that. Your trailer must be a bit over 8 in that case or the bike in your pic isent the one thay goes in the trailer.

8 feet is nominal. My Roadglide fits in my 5X8 with room to spare. Actual length is longer than the "nominal" size and I was told any Harley will fit in an 8 by 5 Wells cargo MC trailer.

Of cource it fits in an 8 ft trailer, your 93.7 in.So would my Heritage at 94.5but the Electra Glide is 98.3, 2.3 in to long.At 96 in. an 8ft insidelength it's 2.3 in. to long.
My point is 98.3 in. doesent fit into 96 in.
Best check the length of your bike before you buy a standerd 8 ft. trailer.

Continental Cargo calls it a 5x8 trailer. It is a V-nose however. And yes the motorcycle in the picture is the one which has been hauled in this trailer.

be careful when given trailer sizes. some manufactures measure from rear to tongue for length. Some give the box size. Take a tape with you to confirm the size. I have a 7x16 tandom axle V-nose that in reality is almost 18 due to the center of the nose. I can easily fit 3 dressers in the trailer and gear.
