Plenty BIG enough if that is an inside dimension assuming we are talking about an enclosed trailer. I have trailered mine on a open trailer of that dimension with no issues other than the wheel chock needing to be up against the front rail.Looking to buy a trailer for general purposes to include hauling my C-14. I found one that’s 5x8 with a ramp but someone told me that it’s not big enough. The C-14 measures 7’4”. Is 8‘x5’ inside dimensions or outside dimensions?….anyone have any input here?
thx
Be very careful using the handlebars as an attachment point. It could get interesting if one broke. Nice bike BTW.I just bought a new 2020 connie from a dealer in Portland OR area. I used my 4 by 8 utility trailer to haul it home ... Boise ID area. I had ample room. Used a wheel chock from Harbor Fr and a Canyon Dancer bar strap.

So when I am hauling my Concours in my Toy Hauler I actually use 7 straps ( I know its over kill ). I run two soft ties thru the frame above the riders pegs and have two pulling forward at rough 45 degrees, two that pull side to side, one that loops thru the rear wheel pulling the bike back towards the rear of the trailer. Then I have a bar harness that has two light pulling straps on the the front just as a fail safe. I would rather be safe than open the back door to find the bike laying on top of one of my other bikes.Be very careful using the handlebars as an attachment point.

I'm back. had technical difficulties! My iPad crashed and finally got my new one. Thanks for all the info.The person (jmilazzo) that started this discussion has never been back. (not sure if he has seen any of the replies)
He was asking about a general purpose/utility trailer with a ramp, not an enclosed special trailer.
I agree with dragunslayer. Waders post (#7) {and picture} perfectly answers the question about minimal size needed.
Well done Wader.
Ride safe, Ted
good point bud. i had read about that issue. was careful not to put too much tension.Be very careful using the handlebars as an attachment point. It could get interesting if one broke. Nice bike BTW.
Here you of insidePossibly got a pic of the inside Nice17 ?
Haul multiple MC’s at once, should be plenty of room. Also doubling as a hard-side tent in remote locations +++!
