Stret Bob ride comfort?
All,
need some inputfrom some of you Bob riders........ How comfortable is a street bob on 100~200 mile trips? I have a Nightster and I am thinking about upgrading to a Street Bob because (now) the old lady decides she wants to ride. When I first bought the Nightster it was going to be for me on short trips but now it looks like its going to be two on 100~200 mile trips. Thanks for any input

RE: Stret Bob ride comfort?
I do 300-400 mile runs on the weekends on my 06 SB, did a 4 day run to AZ back in April. Its my first bike so I have the mind set that I ride what I got no matter what the distance, I also don't have anyting to compare it too, being that it is my first bike. 19,000+ miles in lil over a year, I'm very comfy on it.

Hi Cravenc, The Dyna's are the most comfortable bikes in the H-D. family if you exept the tourers of course!
The Street Bob haveto be slightly modified for two up rides, you will have to addpassenger foot peg and supports as well a pi-pad or a new seat.
That will be enough for most riders and I think with these you may be confident for your 100~200 mile trips.
Maybe a small H-D. clip on fairing!
You alsocan have a look on the Super glide and Low Rider which already have all needed for two up rides... No extra.
Personally I'v already done 500 miles a day few times to go here and there in Europeand I still alive
. But it's long whathever you ride!

the bob sits very well. hi bars make it nice too . rides so much better than my last bike which was a sporty . stock seat is a killer though .

RE: Stret Bob ride comfort?
My hands go numb after about 20 minutes of highway riding. I have to drop them every once in a while to get the feeling back.
Seat hurts my tailbone after about an hour, but it's all good until that point.
I don't plan on taking any long trips on my SB, nor would I want to in it's current (stock) trim. It's great for cruising around town though.
