Been there done that. The best option if you are renting and yes, the trailer is big enough.

The FJR can be secured by using soft ties around the forks at the lower triple clamp. I had to do that once on mine when the ignition switch failed prior to the recall.

I'd ride one up, fly back, ride the other. Screw sharing all the fun.
