[QUOTE="tnrider, post: 715785, member: 43074"]
I ran into some problems mounting my bikes diagonal (6x12 interior dimensions).   If they are all full sized bikes - then yes, handlebars will sit over the seat of the bike forward in trailer. However, if you have different sized bikes like i do (crf450, xt225, ttr125, xr70) they must be positioned in that order front-to-back of trailer (largest to smallest) -- otherwise the handlebar will stick nicely in the engine of the one before it. This may also cause some trailer balance problems as too much tongue weight.

Another thing to consider is the amount of side-to-side motion of the diagonal mounted bikes. I did not like this and went back to a forward mounting design. While they still sway - i expect it to be considerably less when mounted in a forward configuration.  I also put tiedown points to snug the bikes down when moving.  Main reason I used bike shoes was to leave the bikes in trailer between rides - i don't mind releasing the tension on tiedown straps between rides.
