Default Question on ultra?

I was wondering what is the widest point of an 08 ultra? Fairing?
I have no garage, but I have an 8' patio door in the front of the house,
that is to my spare room (my computer room).
So it opens up to about 42" what is it on the ultra?
Thinking of getting rid of some stocks that would give me half then finance the rest.

Wife's ***[sm=icon_quiet.gif][sm=helpout.gif] Actually it is the fairing (the wing part) that comes out at the speakers. Don't know what the measurement is though off the top of my head.

In order to get my ultra in my back yard i have to go thru a 41 inch wide gate. I do it often, tight fit but it does fit. Just have to remember to fold up highway pegs. 42 inch wide u can cruise thru. Joe

Hey Dawg,

You better hope she never sees that. Damn! If I said that it would just be my luck that she would be looking over my shoulder and see it.

<----Its what I do for a living , as I can get 1 1/2 to 2" s more if I change the
style of handle on it and cut the rubber bumper down some.
lic contractor been installing windows and doors for 20 years
told wife I might put a rollup door there instead, she didnt like that,
so it has to be the handle & bumper

I built a garage for my bikes and used 48¨steel doors. I have an 05 Ultraand I clear the door by a good 8 inches. You should be fine.
