Any of you guys recommend a spacing for 4 TRS mounts in a 7x16?

Yeah I was planning on doing exactly what you said Bill, I like the center aisle open too. I was hoping there was a baseline front to back axle spacing so that whatever bike I load, will be spaced out properly. I plan on popping a center line down the trailer and then 90s off of that for the spacing I need.Kurt, you're really going to have to set it up based on how you plan to load. Some people like to alternate them and not be completely lined up. On a wider trailer, some people like being able to hang stuff on the walls next to the bike and push the bikes more toward center, and some like me like a walking aisle between them. It's personal opinion. Here's my serious advice.
1) Put a TRS on your bikes, and then measure from the TRS rear axle (the shafts that slide into the floor mount clamps) measure to the front of the tire.
2) You really want the bikes loaded balanced front to back over the trailer axles if you can.
3) Now, just use painters tape and play around with locations.
4) When you get them close to where you'll want the plates, check under the trailer for obstructions in mounting.
5) Drill, mount, and repeat.
Good advice. I'm gonna look up some factory specs on Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati, and BMW and see what the average wheel base is and lay it out according to that. The seat pocket is a great idea, thanks for that!Stagger them so the bars of one bike can move freely in the area of the seat of the other bike. Check out my old thread for pics.

Hmm, ok. I'll keep it pretty open thenShouldn't matter that much because you should always leave a decent amount of room between the bikes anyways. If you pack them in super tight, you leave very little error for the bikes tilting left/right when you're loading/unloading. Additionally, you would have to lean the bikes when loading because the clip on on one would hit the gas tank or tail section of the other bike already hooked up.
