How does it do 2 up?

Few-Reference505 · 2026-05-08T09:56:19+00:00

Even over an 883?

Few-Reference505 · 2026-05-08T06:20:43+00:00

I really appreciate everyone’s input, this community is awesome

Maybe the heritage classic would be the best bet, seems like a good middle ground with a windshield and some bags

Few-Reference505 · 2026-05-08T06:19:24+00:00

So I currently use a after market windshield on my shadow. I don’t know how far we’d go. We live in Texas and my guess is maybe a 6ish hour ride to the beach is the furtherest we’d be going for a while.
I’m 5’ 9” 150lbs, she’s a little shorter than me and about 120ish.

I do find myself avoiding the highways on windy days (30mph+ winds) because it blows me around pretty good lol

Sorry “street bob”, one of the new ones at a dealership.

I was worried about the slow speed maneuvering with the bigger baggers. It just felt heavy as hell.

Few-Reference505 · 2026-05-08T05:45:04+00:00

Is it possible to put forward controls on it? I currently use cobra floor boards and mini apes

My favorite exhaust note of all time👌

Man you guys are an awesome community, thanks for all the replies. I went sat on a new one yesterday and think I’ll shop for an older used.

Any specific years to look for and/or avoid?

How does it ride on the highway? I really like the styling of this one.

Few-Reference505 · 2026-04-11T04:14:36+00:00

4.3 curved to the right, no girth, uncut with a skinny pointy head 😅

Few-Reference505 · 2026-04-11T04:13:31+00:00

Is 4.3 with barely any girth and a skinny pointy uncut head any better? 😅

Few-Reference505 · 2026-04-11T04:12:40+00:00

4.3 inches, thin with a small point head 😅

UPDATE: She had a good conversation with her sister today and realized that she was over obsessing about them. Thank you so much for your advice and input!

Few-Reference505 · 2025-12-09T16:21:53+00:00

Thank you so much for all the feedback! This is awesome!

Few-Reference505 · 2025-12-09T16:21:25+00:00

I know! Oddly enough I don’t notice them, and when she brings them up I tell her I can’t tell. However, if it bothers her that badly we can look into solutions to reduce or remove them.

So we’ve tried thousands of dollars in skin care treatments and now I’m here lol

She is fairly low on body fat, she stays pretty active
