1-What are you going to pull it with ? Car, Pickup, SUV, just asking.
Feather Lite, Well Cargo, and Haulmark to name a few all make nice trailers. Just make
sure you get a side door and some vents, and a inside light. A 7 foot wide & 14 foot long
trailer will hold two Touring Bikes nicely. A two axle trailer can handle more weight, like
tools, or beer, and a V nose trailer cut the wind better when being towed.
Just make sure you get one that can handle the weight you intend to carry (+ 50%) at the speeds you intent to travel.
How many time have you seen trailers on the side of the road with blown tires and broken axles/suspension because they are too "light duty" for the load?
I have a Haulmark 7x14, dual axle. It's used mostly as a garage, since I don't have one, but I have hauled the bikes on occasion.
I carry 2 Street Glides. Front one is about 2 feet from the front wall (to leave room for beer and tools), and the rear one is 2 feet farther back. This allows for a little wiggle room between the bikes and ensures that they won't bang into each other underway.
I think I paid 4000 or so, but wanted to make sure I got one with electric brakes. The thing weighs about 5K fully loaded.
We have a 7 x 16 V-Nose, dual axle, Husky Cargo trailer that we carry a CVO Limited and a CVO Deluxe in. The 7 x 16 V-Nose allows the bikes to be hauled back to back ..... meaning one bike in the center up to the v-nose and the other bike directly behind it, no staggering inside. We have 2 condor chocks to secure the bike and 8 d-rings (4 evenly spaced down both sides). There is about 10 inches of space between the bikes (Back tire of Limited to front tire of Deluxe), so no worries about them touching.
We had the trailer built to specs and cost was $3800.00 however, we had to drive to Georgia to pick it up (not that big of a deal). This was 2 years ago. Since then, I believe Husky has moved to Florida.
We also got the smooth sides (no rivets) which, if you can spend a few more dollars, it's highly recommended.
If you can afford it, radial tires are a nice upgrade as is Exterior LED lighting package.
Whatever you decide, if you have one built, make sure you tell them you're hauling motorcycles. Most companies will add additional reinforcements to the floor and add the fold out flap to the rear door.
Diamond Cargo (Georgia) is another good place to have a trailer built as well. I've had a trailer built by them as well. Very good quality.
I paid 3 grand for a 7x16 Lark that was only two years old that had a brand new set of tires on it. Do yourself a favor and replace the tires if you have any question about the age. A friend of mine got a smoking deal on a 7X14, but had 3 blow-outs the first time he hauled it. And I wouldn't pull a single axle again after having one almost take the car out next to me when I had a blow-out.
