I bet if you have memory foam installed in the passenger seat, the vibes would be less and she might be happier.

My wife sleeps so much on mine, I have to tie her on to keep her from falling off the bike. She refuses to ride on a Gold Wing.

My Stepdaughter complains of it. She says that at low rpm the back of the wrap around/tour pack vibrates like crazy and really bothers her back.

Is your wife still under warrantee? I suggest bringing her in for service immediately.[sm=smiley36.gif]

I'm guessing your wife just isn't the vibrator type......
Going from metric to HD.....def. noticeable.....like someone else said....we pay for that constant jolt.....
....my wife sez it's like riding a bull.....!!!! She enjoys the ride with a smile.

I have an '07 Electra Classic and my wife had complained about too much vibration back there. I don't know if its the bike or if she just isn't used to it. She's an infrequent rider and this is our first HD.
The bike is going in for it 1000 mi checkup on Tuesday. I'm going to mention it to them and hopefully they'll check it out.
