Default Road King Classic Dimensions

Hi can someone please help me out by measuring the width of the RKC across the saddlebags and also the widest part across the bars please.
I did have these measurements but I've lost them and want to see if I have space to get it through my gate into my yard.
The FB fits with saddlebags but only just.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It will not fit in my 32" house door(old house). I know 36" without bags and maybe guards is not an issue(bars have to turn). I am not near enough to measure. I would think gates are 36-42. I plan on removing bags, guards and maybe swapping bars to bring it in this year, rather than take it 50 miles for lifetime free winter dealer storage.

When I visited my dealer recently they only had one touring bike, a Limited. Seems the 2014 bikes are thinly spread over here at present! Birmingham could be a nice day out?! There really has to be an RK there....
