6ft 265lbs of total coolness here and the Dyna needed properly preloaded front springs and 20wt Bel ray fork fluid, along with Heavy Duty shocks.
In my opinion they also need a high compression big bore kit and a good set of cams along with the other standard supporting hop ups to be a great bike for big fellas.

6 foot and when I first got the bobn was 320 or so. have dropped a few lbs, but still a little challanged ! No problems whatsoever! have also loaded it up for long rides and as is well. I use my bag for a back rest and it really helps. If ya like it do it!

OK girls and boys.
had to remove a few postings from the thread
this was a legitimate discussion before the children started stroking the keyboards.
some of you need to grow up and/or put the bottle down.
thanks

I'm 6'0 and 295lbs I lowered my 08 street bob with 1.75" lowering blocks. I have rode 1400+miles trips and rides just fine. I installed a 200/55/17 nighttrain wheel on it this past winter. Looking forward to the trips coming up in the next couple of weeks. I am trying to lose my beer gut but I LIKE BEER too much I guess.

I would like to answer but I have been informed that only childish drunks answer honestly. So, rather than give you a BS reply or say what you want to hear, I will refrain. I suggest just asking MUD anything that involves an opinion, he censors all replies for political correctness and ACLU approval. How do we feel about fat riders MUD ?
