Default Trailer

Im looking to purchase a 6x12 trailer, I have been looking at both the V-Nose and square nose. My question being will I be able to fit two Street Bobs in either trailer?

Thanks

I'm thinking it might be a little tight width wise. These are in an 8 foot wide but not sure about the length.

They should fit. The square nose should be easier than the V-nose.
You may need to get creative (stagger them or back one in, remove mirrors etc.).
I'd prefer a wider trailer, especially if hauling bigger bikes, furniture, building matls etc.

I just put my bike in a 6x10 square nose and I don't think I could have put another bike in there. It was in the middle, but unless the handle bar was touching the side, not sure it would fit 2, plus tie down may be an issue.

YES. Inqwirin' minds (DO WE HAVE ANY HERE?????) wanna kno.

We have 'stuffed' 2 in a 5x10. One fwd, and one facing aft. BUT it ain't easy, and IT AIN'T FUN !!!!! We did the ol' "lift n slide" routine, to get them in place. So, the answer is "Yes", they will fit. HOW is up to you. You can get 3 in a 7'er. 2 fwd, center one rearward. I am 'believeing' a guy could stuff 3 in a 6'er, the same way, but you would have to stagger the 2 facing fwd, just a bit. BUT, JMFUO.

Oh Yea, IF you are 6' 6", GET THE ONE WITH THE TALL ROOF !!!! Your noggin will APPRECIATE it.

V nose pulls WAY EASIER and is mo' stable, than a square nose. Pull both for work trailers.

I have a 6 X 10 and there's no way I would attemt to put two baggers side by side in it. They may fit if you worked at it, but it sure would be a lot of work. Maybe if you backed one in it would work. I think I would try to get an 8 X 12 if you can.

If they do fit , it's going to be real tight! I have a 6X12 V-nose thats set up for one Ultra. No way anything else would go in it. 7X14 would be a good fit.

You can most definetly fit 2 street bobs in a 12 x 6 enclosed trailer. I have a 12 x 6 and I can get 2 dressers in it. They are tight but it can be done safely. The setup of the traier is important. Mount the left bike forward and the right bike back.
