Anybody got the approximate width of a HD rig?

After many years of 2 wheeling I am restoring a 65 Electraglide and adding a period hack.

I am away from the rig right now and designing a shed for it.

Need to know narrowest door I can use.

I rode a hack a long time ago and liked it a lot.

Thanks for any help.

The width of Urals and Dneprs varies from 46 to 49 inches from center of bike to center of sidecar tire.

Those are the sizes of most of the rigs I have built too. A Harley may be a bit longer, if so another inch or two would not be a problem.
I did a Suzuki S-40 at 46 inches and it was one of the best handling rigs ever.

'84 FLH with TLE is 71.9" overall from hubcap to handlebar. Clutch lever and Batwing are a bit wider but they make it through a 6' doorway

Thanks fellers.
A six fot door will make things easy.
I'm just getting started on the bike-redoing it from the crank out.
I have a perfect metal tub with all the bells and whistles.
