The tail light to tip of the front tire is 6'7" more or less.

You can loosen the four handlebar bolts and move the handlebars forward and end up with a 38" height.

A CA95 I sold fit upright in an early 90's Dodge Dakota PU crossways and the tailgate closed tight to the rear tire.

The Honda P/U might work.

I picked up the bike with a full size 06 Dodge Ram 4X4 and had to tie it down due to excess room.

Be careful turning the handlebars as on the UK models the wiring passes though the handlebars and are easy to shear off by rotating the bars. If you get into the headlamp
you can disconnect them all but it may be tricky feeding them all back thru.

Good luck

i can't wait to pick it up the only thing bad on the bike was the seat , bad foam but good cover
>
i bought a great seat for it already and i'm looking for some WW tires man this metric thing is killing me size; 3.00-16 = 130-90-16 i think?
>
i also got a 160 complete engine with the deal?
>
spokes you also answered my request for a retro fit of blinkers on the bike, I asked if you would consider selling me a set of your great looking blinker system??
>
once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

nige110s has made a good point. Don't force the bars forward. When you meet resistance, stop. You can remove the bolts and handlebar holder and rest the handllebars on the forks with foam or cloth padding as need be. You should be ok otherwise. I will let all know when I start building turn signals. I am also working an a springer seat design improvement to the one I did in the past. You can check out my album to get an example.

I am building a ca95 and tearing down a CA160 for clean up & paint. So very soon I shall know the difference between the two bikes in detail, part by part.

Yo lou good to have you here! Just flatten the tires and take the handlebars off you'll be ok. I hope it doesn't stink up your mini SUV!
