RE: Sportster is top heavy?
Would it have anything to do with how big your wife is? How big her chest is. just kidding with you. I was just thinking about a different thread where a guy was asking is he had a bigger wife would it make his bike more difficult to ride.

Gotta agree with OldFenderGuy (I usually do) I think as far as Harley's go, the Sportster compared to other Harley models is indeed "top heavy" I have ridden my brothers FXR and while it outweights my sportster by at least 200 lbs (not sure of the exact weight) it was so much lower that it "felt" like a lighter bike. I am 6'2" so perhaps with taller riders the sportster doesn't feel like it would to a shorter rider, but who knows....
