Which Trailer?

If you go single with no brakes it is with in my price range.Keep the idea's coming

In PA where you live brakes are required by law on any trailer over 3,000# and it also requires a brake-away kit. So there is no room to save any money and still be legal.

Just meant that I could keep my 16 ft and purchase a smaller 10ft just for the longer bike trips. But from everything I read I would miss those dual axle's.

I bet the best place to go for advice on what type of trailer to haul the two bikes on would be your local Harley dealer. Or a motorcycle website. (Is there such a thing as MotorcycleByNet?) Nothing like getting input from someone who's been doing it. I like the safety aspect of the two axles, and there's no qestion that two axles give a smoother ride, but there's a lot to be said for the compactness and convenience of the single axle trailer, as long as it's good and rugged and in tip-top shape.

...yes I do haul my wife and my Harley's weigh about 1500lb plus what ever else get's thrown in trailer.

Oh, so you occasionally haul your wife as well as your Harleys. Well that changes EVERYTHING. As long as you don't throw her into the trailer...

Very sincerest of apologies...I think small grammer mistakes are so funny sometimes...

I really like how a single axle trailer handles, if you ask you can find a 7K axle under a 12' dump. I have a friend that has one that handles really well. I have a 12' tilt with 8K axle and yes it has brakes and gets used more than the other trailers.
