Enclosed trailer ideas
« on: March 15, 2019, 07:58:02 AM »

Just purchased a 7x16 V-Nosed Enclosed Trailer. Does anyone have any ideas or know if this can safely transport 4 full dress Harleys? I have been trying to lay it out but without the 4 bikes its making it difficult. Sending it in shortly to have the chocks and tie downs put in so any ideas or pictures would be great.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have used these in three trailers now. They allow you to put tie down points wherever you need them. This works great especially if you haul different bikes. They allow you to get the correct  strap angles to keep straps from rubbing on paint. You can put them on walls or floor. If you shop around You will find them in a variety of colors, lengths and prices. I get them locally because I don't want to pay to ship 8" pieces. Another tip is if you have a foot or to left over, mount it on the wall to keep the moveable rings when not in use.

I have these exact tie downs. I am just trying to see if someone has a configuration for a 7x16 trailer that will support 4 baggers.

Send a pm to puzzled, he has a lot of experience with this. With 7' width you may need to stagger your bikes to make them fit.

 Will definitely need to stagger them, but four will be a very tight squeeze.

I had a 7X17 (14’ with 3’ v nose) and could fit only 3 dressers.  The front bike was in the v nose with the tour pack removed.  The other 2 bikes were staggered.  Draw it out on your garage floor with you and your buddies bikes.  Good luck. 

A dresser with the tour pack is about 9’ long.

3 is the max. Staggered. Bags removed from middle bike and packed separately.

My trailer is 8’6”x16 with a 4’ v-nose,so 8’x20’ overall, and it is tight with 4 full dressers.  I don’t think you’ll safely get 4 in a 7x16 trailer

Will not work. The V-Nose will allow you to squeeze the third bike forward, but the two back bike still have to be staggered. Not sure you won't have to take the tour-pak off the front one anyway.
Need a 8 x 20 for four bikes, safely. A 7 wide, even at 20' would be hard to haul four dressers due to the distance you have to stagger them. With a trailer that full you need to consider stand-up chocks like a Condor or similar as the bikes are going to be so close to the wall that you would HAVE to have a second person to start the tie-down procedure before you ever got off the bike (could not lean the left bikes onto kickstand, they would hit wall). I suggest Condor because the quik-release floor brackets are cheap and work very easy (You will have to be able to remove and install the chocks for the rear bikes in order to get front bikes in) and Condors take about 10 Seconds to remove or install.
Good luck, hopefully you ordered your trailer will inlaid E-Track or similar installed. That makes it so much easier as you have unlimited tie-down possibilities.
