The Mobile home I am buying has a 10x10 shed, but it has a standard house size door 32" I believe, I plan to widen the door in a few months, but was wondering if I can flip them sideways, yea I know it'll leak, and make it through the door. They only come out like once a month so even if it is a PITA its fine, just want to know if it's possible at all.

My back gate measures 35 1/2 inches. I was BARELY able to get my YT125 and ATC110 though the back gate last year. What I had to do was turn it sideways so the post woudl get inbetween the front and rear tires and then swing it in sideways sorta.

I ended up replacing the gate with a 48 inch wide gate. NO more problems.

32 inches? I doubt it very much unless you flip it on its side and even then I wonder.

You can always remove the rear wheels and if still too wide, remove the rear axle. They make great furniture for guests to sit on. I have a trike in my living room and a suspension 185s frame in my kitchen. I had a Tiger frame in the living room too, but finally made some room for it upstairs.

i put mine in through a standard door all the time but it has to be 100% sideways, or like veal said just remove the rear wheels and then it fits fine or better:lol:

It could be alot of the reason why I'm single also! LOL My house is a parts storage area. Dune buggy and harley parts as well. You should have seen when I went to Tennessee and picked up my A+ suspension 70....the looks of people in the hotel when I wheeled that into the elevator so I could put it in my hotel room overnight! I had a girlfriend that went on that trip with me and she just shook her head and laughed. The stories I have of some of my adventures. LOL

i built my 350x on my diningroom and only had to remove one rear wheel to squeeze it out, front first then twist to the right bringing the left tire out then slid the back out.

Take the axel nuts off, remove the wheel and hub all in one shot, then the axel "just" fits through a standard door. then just put them back on hand tight but remember to tighten and cotter key them before your next ride, otherwise you end up like this Trike wana be....124392

I got my YT175 in the basement, had to turn it sideways. I removed 1 wheel to get it out without turning it over.
