Your question was about an enclosed trailer... With some flippant, bullshit responses. I have a 6 x12 open trailer that that handles my ultra and my father in laws Suzuki 1500 intruder, which is almost as big. I think that an 7x12 inclosed trailer will haul your bikes just fine

A 7' wide enclosed trailer is not 7' wide inside. Thats the outside of the walls. It is more like 6'8" so rmember that when purchasing a trailer. Also you can hall two bikes on a smaller open trailer (6' wide) but the bars can hang over the sides. They can not do this in a enclosed trailer. If you want room between the bikes I recomend the 8' wide enclosed trailer. Gives you a little room for safety of the bikes rocking into each other.

We had a 6x12 enclosed trailer and loaded a 06 Ultra and backed the wife's 01 Dyna in so I could have more room up front. Bought a 7x14 with a V-nose and they both fit with the Dyna staggered and plenty of room for gear. My .02

I have a 6x12 V-nose trailer and managed to fit my 08 Ultra and my buddy's Road King in for a trip to Florida. Mounted 2 wheel chocks on the floor, one in the v and the other off center about 6' back. The Road king was in the v with the rear end pulled towards the wall. The Ultra took up the rest of the trailer. It was very secure but no extra room for anything else. If I had to do it agin I would go 7x14 minimum.
