Does't anyone have a tape measure?:shock::mrgreen:

 

I don't know the answer, but if you know the wheelbase, check the tire manufacturer for overall height and add half tire height for the front and half for the rear. Tires are different heights for the same size according to the manufacturers. If you are going to cradle both front and rear tires, I would make the rear cradle adjustable to allow for the size difference if you ever change brands.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but I know all the theoretical sizes, I just wanted a physical measurement to check my calculations.

The whole thing is adjustable to fit any size bike.

 

length from front of front tire to rear of rear tire is 8 feet... plus/minus an inch.
This is with wheels straight ahead...

the width of the stock tire is 6 inches.

the rear fender and lights overhang the rear wheel by 6 more inches.

 

This shows overall length and wheel base:

This site confirms the same measurements - and metric:

Thanks Tallannie.

Alekkas, I have plenty of spec pages, but as I said above, the overall length isn't the distance from the back of the rear tire to the front of the front tire.

 

Gottcha - sorry, I misread. Good luck.

 

94 1/2" +/- an inch or two for potential error. I measured it twice, though, and rear of rear to front of front is 94 1/2 to 95".

Hope this helps.

Edit: I see Annie already answered... but this proved that I do have a tape measure!

 

Thanks ophidia.

If anyone wants the metric, it's 2395mm front to back on new stock rubber.
