Default What is maximum pasenger weight on ultra?

I weight 200 pounds and an a lady friend of mine asked me to take her for
ride tomorrow. She is close to 200 lbs. My girlfrined is about 130 lbs. So I am worried
about my friends weight. Any one knows the weight limits on the 08 Ultra classic?. Thanks for the help and the jokes in advanced :=)

If you go by the GVWR on my Ultra it would have the capacity of the rider and passenger in the 390 lbs range.

I've heard you're ok as long as the passenger doesn't outweigh the driver.

It's not a joking matter to me,as I was really heavy at one time and was a worry about a passenger and load,the Harley can pack a good load beyond what they say,just make sure to adjust tire pressures.

If your passenger cancels out the rear speakers. She is toooo big.

I've seen a lot of large people on Baggers with a full compliment of gear and luggage. You'll be fine - +1 for some x-tra air in the shocks. I'm 6 ft.-200 lbs. and have never had any trouble with a passenger of any weight. The info you seek is in the owner's manual. See for yourself and ignore the simple minds that are making sport of your question.

408lbs is the "book" answer, but I know people who put much more than that on thier bikes. As long as you adjust the shocks and tires you'll be fine.
