Default Will a 6.5X12 Trailer Haul Two Ultras

I'm looking at a enclosed Mission trailer 6.5 X 12 and I'm curious to know if I'll be able to fit two Ultras in it. The next width size up is 8.5, I really don't want to go that large.
Thanks

Got a 6 1/2 X 12 and it'stight with an ultra and a dyna in a staggered formation. Two baggers should fit, but you will have to be even more careful about the placement of the chocks.Also, speaking of wheel chocks, you should consider some kind of upright wheel chock, ie. bike pro or condor. These type make it a lot easier toload and tie down., especially in the tight quarters you will experiencing.

For 2 baggers I would suggest a 7 X 14. That way you have a little room to move around and they won't be too close to each other. Get the right trailer the first time so you don't wish you had gotten a bigger one after the fact.

anyone got a shoe horn?? Things are getting awfull tight around here. I have a 6X12 V and I would have to make some really drastic changes to hold two bikes. Cause my ultra takes up a lot. Maybe it is just that my waist keeps getting in the way but it is tight.... Plus what is the load limit of the trailer.. Remember that your ultra is almost 1k and your second bike will be way more the 600 so when you add them are you over the limit of the trailer??? I know that my trailer can only hold 1400lbs so that would make a difference too...

Not broken, It's easier to pull the bikes with the 30' motorhome than pull the motorhome with the bikes! [sm=laughingsmilie.gif]
Thanks for all the replies. I might try an special order a 7' instead.

I had a haulmark 6x12, it would not fit 2 ultras. I had to trade it back in for a 7x14. These were the blunt nose trailers not the v nose. My 7x14 is a dual axle which makes it heavy, but there is plenty of room. They used to make a single axle 7x12 which I'm pretty sure will hold 2 ultras and be easier to haul. Good luck
