    Enclosed Trailer Question

    I know a lot of you race so probably know a lot about trailers. Is it possible to fit a TL1000R and a Yamaha Road Star Warrior in a 5x8 enclosed trailer? The TL1000R is 2' at the widest and the cruiser is 3'6" at the tank.

    That is going to be really tight. The other thing you need to think of is how you are going to secure two bikes down in that area. If you plan on having either bike's sidestand in use (thus having the bike leaned over a bit) that is just going to compound your problems. Good luck.

    Enclosed Trailer Question

    I'd say it's too narrow.. I have 16x7 enclosed trailer with a 3' vnose (for the rollaway). I fit two sportbikes side by side and can barely squeeze my fat ass between em. A 5' width would really be pushing it in my opinion... not to mention ya gotta figure on the bikes moving a little bit back and forth while trailering. Which the first few times after always having an open trailer (where I could watch the bikes in my rearview mirror) got me nervous and I'd run back and check the bikes every chance I got because I got nervous not seeing what was going on back there.. lol.

    The hardest part will be tieing them down but as JCsGirly said, put them in oppsite directions, also offset them. I got 2 sportbikes in a 4'6"x10' area (back of the ambulance) with room to spare. The trick is to tie them down properly.
