I need help!

I just purchased VTX 1300C and the handle bar is 33" and will not fit in my basement's door.
Is there a handle bar 31" in width out there? and where do I find them.

Thanks. :hmm2:

can't you just put one side of the bars in the door at a time?

Install double doors. I don't know about you, but I've got to be beside my bike when pushing it through a door.

Just widen the door.. LOL

Cut 1 inch off each side of the handlebars or install a 3-0 x 6-8 door.

Handle Bar too wide to handle!

Thanks Guys. I appreciated all your comments and sugessions. Actually I laughed when I read all your responds, thanks again, I need those!

Anyway, I guess that there is no such thing as 31" H-Bar out there huh!

Take a run for it and hit that door at about 50 MPH - the handlebars will bend!

Now that is silly:bleh: I had a buddy in High school that built a dirt bike in his basement and his goal was to ride up the stairs once good weather came.
Well the day arrived and Mitch saddled up...up the stairs he went and two steps from the top he rembered that he frorgot to open the door...smacked the door and fell backwards all the way back downstairs:nope: Terrible sight

Before you mod the bars, measure the width of your pegs too, they sit at least as wide as the bars.

Guys,

I figured it out how to get that big babe in the other side of the 30" door. I just took one of the peg out and slide it in one side at a time. Happy ending!!!

Thanks for sharing.

i had to widen the door on my building to get the x inside, and still have to do a little tilting to get through.

Had a bike in my basement once of a house i rented, storage for a friend, the bike went in great, no hassles, no tilting. A year later he sold the bike and decided it was time to come and get it out. 4 steps up and a 32 inch door. The bike would not go back out, we tried for hours, tilting, turning the bars, he ended up removing the bars until outside of the door frame. Guess the bike grew in a year. After the fact we wanted to try it again but taking it back out ass first and see what happen. We sounded like a couple of newfies.

Hey if it works, who cares, it's not pretty but the bike is stored indoors for the winter.

 

[VTXJEFFG]

I had the same problem.....door mod....double doots that open...both sides....1300S is happy and warm in the winter.

 

[tmichael23]

ya mean your suppossed to put them inside in the winter :banghead: lol

Back when I was MUCH younger, my dad and I built a 396 chevy moter for my SS in a spare bedroom at his house during the winter,had everything in place to drop the engine into the car when the weather warmed, well as we were moving the engine stand out the door we discovered that we were about 4-5 inches too wide for the frame, so pops decided to just remove the door frame , great idea untill my mother got home an caught the old man doing his carpenter job on the door......she almost had a heart attack......funniest thing I ever saw .......man I miss my folks...
