what is the weight limits of our bikes?
Asking this question because I weigh 315LBS. But when I go down to mrytle beach I know some thick ass women are going to want rides. I'm not trying to over tax my bike for the purpose of have a big ass on the back.. Right now I tell women if you weigh more than 200lbs. It ain't happening.. lol

I wouldnt think there is a weight limit as much as if you have the rear suspension tightened up enough to keep it from bottoming out contact Trac dynamics about getting a heavy duty rear spring that should help

The root-cause solution is to stop hanging around buffets and pick up a chick in the less-than one ton class.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Just what I thought, a short fat guy.
Buy the Racetec rear AND front springs. I spent around $400 for the springs and to have the dealer install the rear, and set its sag properly. Did the front myself. Man, what a friggin difference! Makes it feel surpisingly like a heli-bar equiped 1000. It suddenly feels stable in the corners, even positively affects turn in and changes of direction. I was actually amazed by how much of a difference it made. And I have done that mod before on other bikes. Trust me, I'm 6'5" and 330lbs (will be 300lbs by summer I keep telling myself).
The springs alone are around $120 for front, $150 rear I believe. Order them for your exact weight, they will and do have plenty of leftover capacity for the ladies.
The rear is fairly difficult to do, so I did what I rarely ever do: payed the dealer to do it. With the right tools and equipment, its a hour and a half job. In my garage without the right tools? prob. 8 hours, hundreds of cuss words, and one finger caste I bet. lol
