Guess that would depend on how big the rider and passanger are, my old lady and I push about 280 total and I have the slammers on the back, we haven't had any issues.

OP, the bike looks good! Do you have a link to the side stand you used?

Ive done my time with lowering shocks. I liked the look but the ride is horrible...

My bike rides like a caddilac now with 12.6" works and racetech fork springs and emulators....

Burley front and back here, run it on the softest setting I am about 230lbs, and never ride with a passenger. Ride is great, looks are even better. I wouldn't have done it any other way.

Theres no question the Burly kits look awesome on Dyna's. I think Softails look cool as hell slammed in the weeds as well. That being said, your bike has an outstanding profile and looks great.

I'm 180 & my girl is about 120. Have never had a problem in 2 years. I rode with my buddy's girl once & she's probably 140. No problems there either.

My parts guy at the dealership said "noooooo" to the fronts, so much that I left scratching me head wondering how I just got worked by the Jedi Mind Trick...
"These are not the parts you're looking for..."

I ordered the rears, they should be on by the weekend. I may have to buy em on his day off. Your set up looked awesome.
