Hey guys,
I'm new to motorcycling and I'm not planning to do this anytime soon...BUT if I ever wanted to ride 2 up, is there an issue when the passenger is bigger/heavier than the rider?



I'm 5'4'' 145-ish and I ride an Iron 883.

 

I put my stupid fat-*** SIL on the back. She prolly weighs as much as me. It was brutal in stop-n-go traffic.

 

Shouldn't be an issue. Just remember if you have a problem balancing the bike in neutral with the heavier passenger on the back... don't try going anywhere! lol

 

 

No Fat Chicks ( until 4am when the bars close on Elmwood Ave. ) .........WVleo

 

I weigh exactly twice what my wife weighs (Me = 230lbs, wife = 115lbs). My only issue is the shitty stock shocks. I really need to mount my Road King shocks.

 

May bottom out.sporty's are known for that,get 2up burly if you plan to ride 2 up and have her put her feet down when you stop at a light

 

That's what I should have done with SIL.

 

i always give a quick lesson to any new passenger-
most important thing is that they do what you do and dont lean the wrong way at the wrong time.
that and upgrade your shocks and seat!!

 

No what you need to do is mount another bigger bike!! LOL
