Hi everyone!!!
No ride as yet but as soon as I can locate the one my sweetie wants or should I say thinks he wants? I say that because he has not been on a bike in over 25 years. We are looking at a 2002 FXDWG / 2-Tone Luxury Blue and Diamond Ice. I have read the differents threads here to get some idea if this is the ride for him. Our problem is his height and girth. He is 6 ft. 7 in. over 300 lbs. most of his height is upper body ( his inseam is a mere 33 in.) while I am only 5 ft and weigh in at 100 lbs very petite. We have been to the showrooms to try several on for size. The first thing we will have to modify will be the foot pegs for me. If they are left where they are I feel like a turkey pulleybone. You can imagine trying to strech my little short gams around him and reach the pegs!! Whoa!!
you talk about uncomfortable. If you guys have any suggestions for seats or any other advice for us I would appreciate it.
I think the last HD my old Studmuffin was on was when he rode for the San Diego Police Dept. many moons ago. He works his butt off for me and I want him to have what he wants but don't want to lay down bucks for the wrong fit. It has been quite a few years since I have rode two up and God knows I am no spring chicken anymore but I can't wait to hit the road.
I have been lurking here on the board trying to learn a few things and I have been enjoying the Pics and the post. Thanks you guys!!!
