I think it might be tight on width for the 2 bikes. Plenty long though. Remember you have to kind of lean them to get them unhooked from the tie downs.
It's going to be very tight. A batwing faring is about 38" wide and the clutch and brake levers stick out a little bit. I would assume softail bars are going to be of similar width. perhaps if you stagger them or put one in backward you may be able to make it work. Better to measure the bikes first before renting the trailer.
Some of the trailers have tie down points in the corners. I think it would be real tight and Im not sure you could. I put a 1979 Honda CBX and a Harley XLCR in one a couple of months ago. It was very tight. I had two wheel chocks in the front attached to plywood. The bikes tried to slide back and I had to reposition them a couple of times.
I I had it to do over I would mount both chocks to the same piece of plywood and fix it somehow to keep them from sliding back.
I used a 6x12 trailer to move a RK and a ST staggering them in their own chocks. Difference is It is an enclosed trailer but it worked good for me an my buds bikes to Fla .Little over 1k miles. TWICE
The tiedowns are going to be your biggest problem. If I remember they only put 4D rings in some of them and they are in the four corners. Height might be also an issue. You can always put the softail in backwards and give yourself a lot more room for the faring. You could also put them in at a 45° and had plenty of room because 12 feet long is plenty long

Make sure to check the ball lock yourself (pull that hitch up and down). No Motorcycles were injured during this incident. U-Haul paid me to repaint my bumper.
