Default RK length
Next week I will pickup my Police RK from the dealer. My question is what is the overall length of the RK front fender to rear fender, will it fit on a ten foot long trailer?
I would ride it home but I have no way to get there other than my truck, the dealer is 1 1/2 hour away.

congrats on the new bike.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the Classic and a Police... but, my RKC is just under 94" (7ft 7/8"). can't believe your bike would be any longer than that. ought to fit nicely.

I thought my trailer was a 10 footer, it is not it is only 8 ft long. Will the RK still fit? The trailer has a drop down mesh gate that can not be removed.

if your trailer is a full 8ft (96") from front rail to tailgate, and you have the front tire touching the front rail, you should be ok. the RK is just under 94" overall length. you could remove the mufflers and bags to lose another inch or so.

I suppose you could load the bike somewhat diagonally. That should give you several extra inches.

Yeah I was kindof thinking of that if I had to.
