Will my Ultra fit in the back of a full size chevy/ford van even if I take off the windshield?

When I sold my Deuce, the new owner pushed it up a ramp into the back of a full size Chevy van. The handlebars with mirrors missed the roof by about 2 inches. I would say with the tour pack and fairing, probably not. Grab a tape measure, measure the inside dimensions of the van, then the bike. My guess would be no.

I have a 6x12 aluminum vnose trailer and an Expedition- I am trying to avoid taking my truck and putting the mileage on it and then have to deal with parking a truck and a trailer at Myrtle bike week. Thanks for your comment though

So- the question still stands

Might be a tight fit, but it should go in. I brought my first harley home when I was a kid in the back of a chevy van. The bike was a sportster though. We had nothing to tie it down with, so I sat on it for the 2 hour ride home, braking every time the van did..that was a long ride
You going to need a good heavy well textured ramp though, have someone take a video when you load it, so you can post it up here so people will know it's possible.. :-)
