Re: twin motorcycle trailer
The GVW is 750kg, the running weight is 126kg, that would only give a payload of 624kg not the 700+ you wanted, a Road King and a Fatboy together would overload it, and could cause problems.
You need to look for a braked trailer i.e. over 750Kg.
You might do better looking for a straightforward flat bed trailer and adding your own tie down points and channels for the wheels.

It's also worth noting that if it's for a business and the total weight exceeds 3.5 tones, you need a tachograph, like in HGVs. Love to know how travelers go on when they have a company name on the van (transit=2.2 ton)+large twin axel caravan.

Re: twin motorcycle trailer
thanx ???mmmm not as easy as I had hoped, but thanx for the info,
have now just looked in the right direction and a flatbed braked trailer looks like the way to go, puts it in a higher investment sector as one would expect.

The 3.5 tonnes Gross Train Mass applies to vehicles towing trailers containing goods.It doesn't apply to caravans.

Re: twin motorcycle trailer
If going for a braked trailer,check it has a manual lock to over ride the over run brake.Without that it can be a sod to reverse.If you're reversing up a slope and give it some gas,the spring compresses,and puts the trailer brakes on.
