That’s a neat design. I was thinking of something like that but ever saw a actual example. It goes to show that most ideas have already been thought of and done. Thank you for the reference.

I have a limitation in my designs. To stay with a 6’ wide trailer and the wheels within that 6’, I’d need to have the front wheels of the pair of motorcycles in line with the trailer wheels, this puts a 825lb center of weight a little more than 2ft behind the trailer wheels. So my starting point is rear heavy before loading the rest. I can easily load the rest of the tools and gear fwd in the trailer down low to achieve proper 10-15% tongue weight and end up with a low center of gravity and good weight bias fwd. So only the lightest of items could go in the split tail design. And this split tail design would be most useful with a full standing height trailer of course.
