I'm sure he just meant that sporties attract girls. Right?

Anyway, I bottom out my stock shocks on the highest pre-load 1 up when I hit the right bumps. Progressives very high up on the list for me... How do you like your HD's biggdogg?

two up is not good/ comfotable on nightster or 883 for that reason. they are not even fit for solo riders. i was gonna get one last fall with a new job but it all changed when i saw a guy right infront of me hit a ditch and the bike hit his ash pretty hard. if he wouldve been going little faster he might have lost control. thats my two, rest is upto you bud.

The Nightster is a good looking bike but its too small for me alone,much less my fat assed OL on the back...now if you and your GF are on the smaller side,go for it...be safe....:>)

I put a 2 up seat and pegs on my iron. I only weigh 180 and my wife much less. Its really ok, some times bumps suck but its worth it.

I ditched my Nightster because it sucked for 2 up. Can you do it, Yes. Will it suck after a hour or so, Yes.

Wish I could have kept it though, it was fun solo & around town.
