851 Sportster

Will a 1980 851 Sportster fit in 6.5 bed with the tailgate down?

First. there is no such thing as an 851 Sportster. An 883 Sportster measures 88.4 inches, a little over 7 feet so yes it should fit and might fit with tailgate up if you put it in diagonally. This is assuming you don't have an easy rider type stretched and raked out front fork.
