Recommend you go with the Uhaul 5x9 ramp trailer like the one funnythebunny posted. Last summer I used the 5x9 trailer to haul my SG from Nebraska to Delaware and back. The 5x9 is a little heavier compared to the 5x8. Also, the 5x9 has the built in front wheel chock if you need it and the larger ramp is way better for rolling the bike in and out.

 

Been there, done that. Didn't fit.

5X9 much better for your needs,I'm a U-haul Dealer

 

I bought a 8' trailer and extended the front of the trailer now it fits like a glove.

 

Hard to just get a yes or no answer isn't it?

 

OK, I am not trying to be a smart Azz, but since you have a Ford F150, why don't you just put it in the back of the truck? Even with a 6 foot bed the tires will be sitting on the bed. You will have to leave the tailgait down though. I just hauled my Ultra in the back of my Chevy Silverado this morning.

 

Bike's too long for and 8 foot trailer of any type. It might just fit in there, but there will be less than an inch or two between the back door and the rear surfaces of your bike.
I don't recommend it at all. Instead, use that open Uhaul. And while you are at it, get a real hitch for that F150 for pete's sake.

 

Pickin up my own Deep Purple SG this weekend!

 

+1 on the trailer funnythebunny has pictured. I used that trailer when I moved from Vermont to Florida and it worked great. If you look on the U-Haul website I believe they even list it as a motorcycle trailer. That's the one you need.

 

Should have posted this months ago. Sep 2011 picture of 2009 SG in a U-haul 5x9 trailer. I towed the bike from NE to DE and back. Its not visible, I had my HF wheel chock strapped to the inside front of the trailer.
