Default Streetglide in 6 1/2 foot bed??

Taking four bikes to Sturgis, 3 in trailer, 1 in truck. Has anyone put a Streetglide in a 6 1/2 foot bed. I will be taking the tailgate off/ Not sure if the wheels will fit in the bed with the front wheel against the cab.

Yeah yeah I know we should ride, but we can't. The more bikes I take the cheaper my trip is.........

Your wheel base is 63. 5"...(5' 3.5")...so the center of the rear axles is at 5'3.5"...add 6 inches or so for the tire behind the axle and you have about 5'10" or thereabouts.

Diagonal maybe, but front fender and pipes will probably hit the side of the bed.

Jamie,
My truck is the same as John T.'s. My Road King fits in the back, straight in, with room to spare. You can't put the tailgate up, but it fits no problem. I have a picture somewhere to show the rear wheel in the bed. I'll see if I can find it.
Jeff
