Rig widths vary a lot. With an open trailer you have to consider the total width of the rig, taking consideration anything that might interfere with existing sides or inboard fenders.
With a covered trailer you have to consider the throat opening at the top of the ramp and clearance for handlebars, mirrors and room to tie the rig down.

We tow our sidecar outfit on an Ultimate Trailer made in bolder Colorado. It has a bed that lowers to the ground and raises using a compressor. There is a stone shield on the front and I have never had any problems with nicks. Our outfit is a Hannigan Classic attached to a goldwing f6b. The trailer has about a 70+ in. bed with. You can see Picts on Claude Steiner's Facebook page. He runs Freedom Sidecars up in Pa. An important issue is to use a chock and cross tie the back wheels. so that the rig doesn't "dance" sideways on the trailer. Just another option fwiw!
