I got an fxstc with stock bars and have to go through a 36" door,what I do is drive up to the door at a slight angle,get the left bar in then turn slightly to the left and the right bar goes in. It's easy,I can do it on the run,no stopping.It may be a little trickier with saddlebags,but it will fit.

Question

Two questions for you.
1) Do you own a measuring tape?
2) Do you have stock bars?



You should try measuring the widest part of the bike yourself, there are so many variables involved, width of your bars, highway pegs, engine guards, most bikes have had some mods done to them that may vary the widths, go out there an make your own measurements, its the safest way to be certain you bike will fit.....
