Width overall.
Width at the bars
Width at the bags, inclusive of bag guards
I need this info to make sure I can get the bike out of the driveway. My FLD is a relatively narrow bike. The hardbags are thinner than the touring bikes.

It's less than half as wide as a car.
Touring bikes tend to be roughly the same width as each other. The possible few inches differences is not going to be enough to make a difference in what you are describing.

Best bet is test ride again and this time take it down your driveway. Things like how clumsy it is to maneuver at walking speeds will come into play if the clearance is in fact so tight that a couple of inches matter. That clumsiness will vary with the individual, with the person's height and inseam being a significant factor.

Actually, yes, it would make a difference.

He asked a simple question. Maybe he has to squeeze between a vehicle and a fence or building. I had the same situation at my previous house. Neighbors fence ran along one side of driveway, with my truck parked in driveway, tight to fence, I had to squeeze between truck and my house to get to my garage with about 2 inches to spare on each side.
Similar situation here.
