6X10 Trailer
Before I had my SG I owned a trailer. I towed a Wide Glide and a Road King in it one time to Melbourne Florida. It was a single axel trailer. I can tell you this . I was exceeding the towing capacity of the trailer if I remember correctly I found out later. It was tight at best. I staggered the bikes about 18". You might be able to get 2 baggers in there but it will be tight for sure. You will definitely have to stagger them. Measure the widest width of each bike and the inside of the trailer you want to buy. You can lay it out on paper easy enough. You will have to load one bike get it strapped in straight up and down then do the same with the other . Someone will have to sit on the other bike while you strap it in because it won't be able to lean . Once its strapped in you should have no issues. Like I said find the widest width on your bikes and go from there. Good luck,

I wouldn't want to put two baggers in a 6 x 10. Not sure you could without them touching anyway. In a 6ft trailer you would want to stagger them. 10ft wouldn't be long enough to do this very well I wouldn't think. I would want a 7ft wide trailer for two baggers, and at least 12 - 14ft long.

i built an OPEN trailer. i figured the biggest hings that would go on there would be my two road kings, for when i move to florida.
it is 6 1/2 foot wide, and 12 feet long, and weight rated for 3500 pounds (minus the 800 of the trailer) with a 3500# axle, and 2,000# springs, and and holds both kings, with apes (one with 18s, one with 12s) crashbars, and highway pegs (flipped up), side by side. with enough room in between for bouncing around, so they wont touch (crash) together, and break stuff. i put both bikes side by side in my driveway, and had friends hold them up straight. got them as close as i was comfortable having them, and measured. 6 1/2 was the smallest i could have gone. with equal size bars, this would not have worked...... the the taller bars overlapped the other by about 1 inch........
however, this would not work, if it had walls..... both bikes handlebars stick out over the rails, by at least an inch. if there were walls, obviously, you would want your bars at least 3-4 inches away from the walls. and there is just not enough room in between to get close enough for that.
and, sadly, i tried to have them staggered. would not work either. saddlebags will touch. if you were getting a longer trailer, i would say you might be able to load them at an angle, but i wouldnt put my bikes in like that.
get a bigger trailer.
