Default Another enclosed trailer question,,,,

Ok, I know everyone says you need at least a 7x14 to haul two bikes if you needed to. Does anyone thing a 6x16 would haul two at a slight angle? Just saw one pretty cheap and wondered if it would do the job?
I am not at home, roughly how long is a SG, or say a Softail Standard... ect...

I doubt it , I have a 7x14 and the way the bikes are staggarded in the trailer , one slightly more forward of the other one 2 baggers is all you can squeeze in there. not much room between the bikes or the sides of the trailer only inches on all sides.

Not if you have a V-Nose 7 x 14, I can get two baggers and a V-Rod in mine....

I believe a SG is about 8ft +/- nose to tail.

I was guessing that. My thought was since this is a 16' trailer, they could ALMOST go nose to tail. So if there was a slight stagger, it may. I think I may go look at this one this weekend. It's very reasonably priced. And if I can't haul two,, oh well. But this one is cheaper than any of the 6x10s I am seeing really.

I can tell you that you can't do it in a 6 X 10. I stored my FLHX and my FXSTC in mine for the winter and it was CLOSE!! No way I would try to haul them both in it

I have a 5X8 with V-Nose and My bike sits right at the 8' line --- I am saying it just might work but the nose to tail would be snug..

If you are serious - I would throw a tape on the floor of the trailer and do the math.. may just be a little over our under the 16'

Yea, I'll take a tape measure with me. I also plan on riding the scoot to look at it. (it's about 30 miles away, if I make an offer and he takes it, I'll go back with the truck to get it.) Maybe I can ride up into it to see how it sits in there... (if he has a ramp, this has the Barn doors)
