enclosed motorcycle trailer

[1]

     Looking for a good quality enclosed motorcycle trailer(6x10 v-nose) from an honest  dealer/seller at a good price. Currently have an FLSTC and hope to have an Ultra or SG within a year.  Am temporarily located in central Florida about 20 miles off the Gulf. Will travel for the right price. Your help is appreciated as always. Thanks!

Elkhart Indiana is were I went from Ohio.  I think some folks found great deals in Georgia.  The best place I found were the wholesalers, MSI is the one I used.  They are just a few miles away from the manufacturers.

I think I would go with at least 7'x12'.  This should give you room enough for some space between saddlebags and room to stuff some xtra chit.

If you get one that size for an ultra, and it has a single axle and fender running lights, be mindful that the self tapping screws holding the running lights down might end up going into your tires.  This happened to me going from central fl to wisconsin.  Not enough for a flat but it created a new groove in both tires(my road gremlin bell worked through the floor!).  Had to take the screws out and replace with round headed bolts facing up.  It is a cargo mate trailer which i bought private and really like.  Don't rule out a  private seller.  Happy hunting....Cub

I bought one from Home Depot 10 years ago 6x12 with ramp rear door and side door.
Lowes also sells them.
Both offer 12 months no interest credit card financing.
Both offer to beat any price by 10%.
Get your best price from anyone, then play HD vs lowes.
I saved $500 off their sticker price.
I also carried 3 bikes in it. Dresser, heritage and Buell.
The best tie down system I have found is E-Track and D-Rings.
Go to a truck supply place for you e-track and D-Rings its waaaay cheaper than from a trailer dealer
Bolt them through the floor and frame members

Both Lowes and Home Depot also gives a 10% discount....

I see a lot of single axle trailers for bikes and they are cheaper, light and easy to tow.

But...

A little voice asks what might happen if there is a flat?  In that case, might it whip around?  Especially if towed with a short, light vehicle.  Maybe not so much with a LWB diesel truck.

At least might a tandem axle add a little safety margin to make it to a level, solid place off the road?  Particularly an interstate.  How many keep a spare for their single axle trailer?  Now, how many check the air pressure in the spare?  I'm not picking, I can't remember to, either.  Just belaboring the obvious.

Don't have any long distance experience with single axle trailers, just opening the floor for discussion.
