i too think the sears ramps should work. but you might need to get a third ramp if i'm understand what you have.
if the ramps are a bit shy of working you could get a set of ramps for your truck (the kind you use to help change your oil) and drive your truck up on them. that will give you any extra angle you might need. and they can be stored easily.
i don't know what makes it so different, but i used an 8 foot 2x10 to get my gl650 in and out of my truck. took two people but it was possible.

Hallelujah! We FINALLY found a couple of ramps that will work – a 7’ x 60” Zero-Turn Mower & Trike trifold. We’ll just have to hook the 2 together & prop the middle! (Don’t know why they had been hiding for the past 10 days while we’ve been searching – they just popped up at the last minute!) Carry them on a ladder rack (which is our next search - - Thank goodness Uncle Sam knew we were gonna need some extra $$ this spring!! LOL)
This company was SO helpful – don’t know if I can give their name or not – I don’t want to get into trouble, but would love to let y’all know who is willing to help (besides forum members, that is)!

Holy hell, you're really going to use a 14' ramp without even trying an arched ramp??

I believe a 7' x 60" ramp would qualify as a seven foot ramp.... Not a 14. Am I wrong?

A 7' ramp is a 7' ramp.
Two 7' ramps, propped together in the middle, is a 14' ramp. Might want to read more than the first sentence of each post
a 7’ x 60” Zero-Turn Mower & Trike trifold. We’ll just have to hook the 2 together & prop the middle!
