Default Utility trailer

Anyone use a utility trailer with a 4' mesh ramp/gate. Will I be able to load my roadking on the trailer without scraping bottom. I did buy a bike pro wheel chock. The trailer is 5'X10' with 15" wheels rated at 3500lbs. Thanx

watch the ramp angle at the trailer bed. you may need to block up the ramp where it contacts the ground. the longer the ramp the lesser the approach angle.

If in doubt, park your trailer wheels in a low spot and this will lessen the load angle. I used to have a Yamaha Virago 1000 and could load on the exact same trailer with no problem. I don't believe the RK is any lower.
