Looking for the Width of the Handle Bars with and without the Bar Ends,also width between the widest part of the Heads please ?

Need to try to fit it in through a 700mm Door ! realise it will have to be at an Angle to get one Bar in then turn the other way and a bit of lean and it may fit 👍🏻

I say no way it will fit. That's a small door. My door has an 85cm opening and my Norge just barely fits with a lot of tilting, angling, wiggling and cursing.

Thanks, but until we know the Width, Nobody Knows !
MG list it at 835mm Wide but is that the Mirrors which are the Widest Part, the Bar ends look about 35mm each so one Hex Bolt and that's another 70mm Gained and so on...

If you disassemble the bike enough you could pass it through a 30 cm window.:rolleyes:

Thanks for your Wisdom 🙄 but it will for 3 Months at a time NOT on a Daily Basis...Prefer it if Anyone actually knows the answer rather than some Wise Cracks that some Peeps think are Amusing...Just an Observation from the Answers given thus Far...
 
Just go into a dealer and measure it yourself. You will then only have yourself to blame if the bike doesn’t go through the door way.
 
Wise cracks? I didn't see a one.

You initially wrote 70mm which is 7 cm.

Now you changed it and didn't have the common courtesy to acknowledge that you made a serious mistake and then corrected it.

I would but nearest MG dealer is over 470mls away that Actually has a V100 in Stock...

I promise you I wouldn't blame Anyone...

I'm sure someone on a MG Owners site and on the V100 Sub section actually owns one that could give an answer when they have some spare time...TIA

So based on the « data » here you’ll be 120mm too wide ( about 5 inches )
Not a big door… it there lots of space inside the area past the door ?

The Plan is to take off the Bar Ends, one Hex Bolt, which look about 30 - 35mm each so the Bike would be 60 -70mm too wide, luckily the door opens about 145 degrees into the room...
 
I know some people use a bike/mechanic/garage trolley to wheel their bikes into 'hard to reach' areas/positions. Putting the front wheel (or the entire bike) on a trolley means you can turn the bars to max sideways angle. Not sure what diffirence in width, but on my Griso it reduces front end width to close to engine width.

It might be best tried with a helper the first time in case you get one side through, Then figure you need to change your approach and are « stuck »
Good luck,

It's pretty much mandatory to have a helper with all the twisting and turning and tipping to get through the doorway. When I bring mine into the house for the winter, I always have a (strong) buddy to help. I did it with the wife one year and lets just say it caused a bit of friction between us.

Get a Bigger Wife 😉

There's always an Option to fit a Bigger Door, but they are Metal Doors with Metal Frames so Cost would come into it...
