[Fatboy]

With a 7X14 V nose trailer, is it possible to put 2 baggers in staggered and let's say a Fatboy in the rear between them if needed?[/quote

I wouldn't my bike to be one of the three even if you could squeeze them in which I doubt.

A seven foot wide trailer is about six foot six inches wall to wall on the inside.

Actually the majority of 7' wide trailers measure 80" inside.  The Aluma all alluminum 7' trailer measures 81.25".

I don't think I would try it.

The Thule 6.5 (mine) measures 78.5", and that is on the finished sides with 3/8" plywood.

You can get 3 bikes with no problem in a 7 x 16 trailor.  I have a 7 x 16 H & H trailor and I put two bikes in no problem.  I have the e-trac mounted to the floor so you can vary you configuration based on what you're hauling.

From the side door forward I am in the process of building a work bench/storage area so my option of hauling three is gone, but if I hadn't done that I would have no problem hauling at least three bikes.

One thing to consider...on my tailer I installed the brackets for the front wheels, you ride your bike into the bracket and a rear bracket comes up and locks the front wheel in place so that you can get off the bike and it stands without the kick stand to strap it down.

When I picked up my '06 SE Ultra I pulled it in and strapped it down.  When I got home the front wheel would not come out of the stand or bracket.  The front tire was obviously a bigger size than my '03 Road King.  Had to whinch it out!

Yeah, I had the same problem, and then I took it out of gear [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Trailer what trailer. My bikes never seen the inside of a trailer. Bought them to ride not to pull around.

Hey Sky, That sums up my feelings on trailers too! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Never heard the expression "Live to Trailer", have you? Hoist!  8-)

As did I, however hard as I try, I have not yet mastered the art of riding my scooter and driving my truck at the same time during a move, or when I need to get the scoot to the shop for some work that is going to take more than day, which requires the bike to stay there.  I certainly don't plan on sleeping at the shop while I wait for the work to be done.  Further, frequently my scoot goes with me on business trips, which last for weeks.  The trailer doubles as a garage in those cases.  Quite a handy item......I think.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Been riding for 35 years, sometimes you just have to take a break. That and since my wife is unable to do long trips (2-3 hours tops) means if I want her along we have to use the trailer.

Sometimes your body will dictate how you ride, not the other way around.
