I modified the airplane trailer to carry the bike, cutting the outside "wings" and bringing in the Harley Fat Boy billet wheels. I got aluminum non skid plate to make a floor, and made an 8 foot ramp with a wheel chuck for the bike to fit on:
The thicker aluminum loading ramp is hinged, and pulls up tight against the rear wheel of the bike with a tie down to keep it from rolling back:
It looks great, and carried the smaller 350lbs chopper fine, but the suspension is just not sturdy enough for the 700lbs Vegas, and I will have to rebuild the swing arm with thicker and harder alloy steel(go from 2" x 3/16" to 2" x 3/8" thick flat bar:
The bracket holding the shocks will have to be braced by a 1" x1" tube welded at 45 degrees.
