I assume an xb will fit on a 4x6 trailer without a problem, but I thought I'd check with those in the know. |

Ah come on! Someone must know. The bike is 52 inches from axle to axle correct? What's the front rims, 17 inch? |

Does the ramp fold up on the back? It might hit the rear tire. 6 foot floor will hold a tied-down XB. Check axle loads and all the usual stuff. I stuffed BOTH my XB and S3 onto a Uhaul motorcycle trailer before. I think that was a 6 footer (I can check their website but am too lazy) |

Just checked - the Uhaul trailer is over 7 feet. Oh well, so much for my memory. As long as you can pull the front tire against the front rail and the rear tire is fully ON the trailer floor, you should be fine. Most of the small trailers I've seen are a pain at speed for long hauls. |

Nevermind, the bike allready sold. I should have just bought it and rode it back. 11 hour ride ain't nothing. It does not have the fold up ramp. |

I knew it would sell fast, but I wanted to see some better pictures of it and of course the guy never emailed me any. It was a 2004 xb12s for $4899 on ebay. Such is life. |

I've got a little 6' trailer with stake sides and have measured out the bike fit, I'd have to angle a Buell to get it in there, or chop a hole in the front boards to stick the tire through in order to use the rear gate. I don't remember what the overall length of the bikes are but it's simple enough to measure them. |
