Anyone know the length from nose of tractor to end of trailer (53') for a w900l with largest sleeper size?

Too many variables. 84ā€ studio sleeper is the largest factory sleeper from KW but you can still order various wheelbase options. Tie that to the sliding 5th wheel and it can vary quite a bit.

Why the concern? A good operator can get it where it needs to go.

Thanks for the quick reply, and I guess I was asking because I'd like to get one ( get used to the bigger feel for maneuverability ) and then convert to a 96" ari sleeper... and still remain within that 65' legal length limit for a tractor and single trailer

Honestly, if I were going to build a sleeper truck, Iā€™d use the Volvo chassis. You can use a larger sleeper on a shorter wheelbase with better steering angle along with saving on weight.
