I have a 7X14 but it is not a V nose. A guy at the trailer dealer said to stager the two dressers facing forward and put the softail in facing backwards. You dont have to stager them much just a foot or 18". It will still be tight. Good Luck.

Center bike farthest forward, 2 bikes side by side 4 ft or so back. Might have to place rear bikes facing rear. Harder to load. Have seen some mount a 12v winch in center front of trailer. Helps with break downs too.
Have too watch out for pegs and bag conflicts.

I think it comes down to the length of the bikes, the width of the bars, and the width of the bikes. In my two bike trailer, I have to stagger the bikes to avoid interference with the bars. The Street Glide and Goldwing will need to be side-by-side with a stagger. I'd assume the Softtail would be centered, possibly with the forks slid between the other two to fit the length of the trailer. Look into wheel chock options, and give some real thought into tie down locations. You'll want to make sure that everything is locked in tight, cause with those bikes squeezed in you don't leave much room for movement.
Take the measurements - bar width, bag width, engine guard width, etc. Draw it out on paper, and recruit your buddies to attempt a dry run prior to setting up chocks and tie downs.

Good Luck. We trailered 3 bikes from washington to Reno for Street Vibrations last year. It was U-Haul Rental and I think it was 14' by 6.5'. We had t remove the bags off my Road King Clasic, and it just barely fit in with other 2 bikes a softail standard and softail deluxe. I can't imagine a steet glide and a goldwing working with trailer we had.
