  3. Lean with me. Don't try to steer the bike, just keep in line with me.
  4. If we're stopping really hard, slide your hands forward and up onto the tank and press there. I then have them practice once.
BTW, nice job with the grab handles. Should be a Harley accessory!
Thank you. I never heard of the passenger putting hands on the tank before. I wouldn't want her smudging then wax...LOL.

Default Sundowner Seat
Put on the sundowner seat.
It's not nearly as good looking as the stock seat, but it seems to be more comfortable, and my wife might actually ride on the back with me.

I agree on both accounts. ALWAYS a trade off

I rode mine at 70 MPH through a thunderstorm on the way home from a weekend in north central PA

Bike is now cleaner than when I started.

Took my Heritage through Yosemite last week. Amazing area. The 120 through Yosemite and 108 through Stanislaus Forest are highly recommended.

105 degrees on the 395/14 loaded with my son on the back for 5 hours doing 90+ never skipped a beat. Ice cubes wrapped in kerchiefs on the back of necks got us through. Beautiful area.

It was stupid hot!! But the forest and parks were very comfortable temps. Still snowcaps and a little chill at elevation. Nice combo if you bring layers to cover the extremes.
