I have an '89 Westy, which fits with about an inch to spare in my garage,
which measures about 82.5".  Of course, when I leave my Yakima rack on top,
then try to enter, it doesn't fit quite as nicely.  Luckily, it pulled the
rack off the pop-top mounted bracket, and didn't hurt the pop-top.  For
this reason, I would make your garage at least tall enough to allow the
Westy to have a rack on top.  My dad does, and it sure is a lot nicer
putting that rack on and off in the warmer, dry garage, then out in the
biting cold and rain.

Just my .02 cents

ps - If you want the measurement with the rack on, pmail me, and I'll
measure it tonight, unless someone already has it.

 Subject: Need Height Measurement

I'm drawing up plans for a garage so I won't have to work in my limestone
driveway any longer! I have a Weekender now, but I need to know just how
much
door height clearance I'll need for a Westy (I will have one eventually).
Can
someone measure the height over thier top for me?, (Synchros will be more,
I'm
sure).
Thanks a lot!
