You'd be surprized just how small an area you need to load two bikes. LOL
When you want to put some snow behind you, you get determined.
the spare didn't even fit in the box and we brought no plank
Here's a Ford 250 4X4, 8 ft box, with a 1989 Heritage Classic and a 1990 Electra Glide Sport.

I have a Pace enclosed 6X12 with a drop gate and side door now. Much better.

Just fyi, I have a trailer that is 8' 2" long inside with the tailgate up. The Heritage Classic or the Deuce will fit straight in and the gate will close but the Wide Glide is too long - more rake in the front.

I have to put the WG in diagonally to haul it. I'd guess it's about 8' 4" long overall, m/l.

I also have to add weight to the front of the trailer for the WG. That raked front pushes the engine etc back far enough to take the weight off the tongue. I toss a couple of 60# bags of sand up front. Not so with the Heritage or the Deuce.

My next trailer will be 10' long and will have the wheels/axles a little farther back to put more tongue weight down.

You can cram 2 bikes on a 5' wide trailer but you'll wish you had a 10' x 6'.

hth.

 

I have a nice enclosed trailer I'll sell you for $2200 . That isn't much more than you can get a quality open trailer for . I'm in NC
