I'm wondering if the GTR will fit into a standard bike barn with panniers removed?

Barn size length 108 x width 42 x height 63

Bike size length 88 x width 38 x height 56

GT pack, Puig dark tint touring screen, Zumo 660, road Angel, Drift Ghost S HD cameras + remotes X 4, i phone 5s plus mount, Interphone 5 comms.

O.C.

I have used a family tent in the garden before with good results. cheap solution and caused no damage to the bike

Another great idea I would consider if space wasn't a major factor, hence the Bike Barn being my best option at the mo.

You need to act quick or your pristine GTR won't be much longer  :oops:

Yep! Stressing me right out at the moment  :sad:

I've decided on a Bike Barn but I not sure whether to go for the standard or tourer size.
Decisions decisions!

Wouldnt it be best to get the biggest size that you can get in the space - not alot of difference in price but you have it just in case

I think I'm gonna have a go at building an enclosure for it using the fence it's up against as one side (the back), the front will lift away, the top will fold up and the sides will fold back. It will all be padlocked up to stop the curious having a look.

Sounds complicated but I think it will be more permanent than a tent barn :smiley:

Watch this space . . .

Another option would be to get a cheap or used shed and modify the front to get the bike in.
A friend got a 6x10' shed and converted it to 2 door front.
If you do, remember to reinforce the base to take the sidestand or centrestand.
A steel plate works well.

I squeeze mine into an 8 x 6 garden shed. When I bought it I had it made with double doors on the end. I also laid another floor on top of the original. The bike even shares the shed with my work bench. Where there's a will there's a way.

Over £400 with the floor seems to be a lot of money for what it is ( Bike Barn)  :eek:

There are others at half the price, not sure about the quality though  :no:

£400 to protect a £12k bike and cost is an issue !!!!!!!!!🤔
