Default Will a FLSTC fit through my front door?

Ok, I need my baby back home. It's been in storage all winter, but with a few weeks of cold night still ahead, I don't want it sitting in my unheated garage. So I don't use my kitchen table anyways... Someone with a '09+ Heritage, could you measure the widest part for me. Also, can someone distract my GF while I pull the bike into the kitchen?

Depends on how fast you are going and who you are married to.

I just measured by Chubby bars and they are 44"
My front door is 36"

I used to park my Train in the house during typhoons when I lived on Okinawa.
It fit but sure was tight.
Much easier with some help.

Well your not alone, I keep mine in the kitchen! Although I have a dyna, it all depends on how wide your front door is, 36" or 38"? I just went from a 36" with it being a little tight but manageable to a 38" door and it's a whole lot easier with them extra 2"s! Some advice if you go through your living room to get to the kitchen, get a carpet runner to put down so you don't damage your hardwood or carpet.

Sweet. Anyone need a kitchen table? I'd still love to hear from someone with a newer heritage though. I'm not sure how wide the mini apes are...
