How much weight?
How much weight can safely be added be it travel gear or a passenger?
I've got a 2010RK with Legend Revo-A rear shocks.
When does weight begin to put too much stress on the belt, shocks, etc?
Ive looked in my Clymer manual but dont see any references to that.
Maybe its in the HD Service Manual which I have on order.
My main reason for asking is my 180# son wants me to take him for a ride.
I've only ridden with his 110# mother on the back.
Tx!

As I stated......I can't find any reference to weight in Clymer and my HDSM wont arrive for another week.
I wanted to take my son for a ride TODAY!

Clymer is not Owner's Manual.
HDSM is not Owner's Manual.
You can get your Owner's Manual on line by putting your VIN in here:
https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....cle/lookupForm
You should have no issue with your 180 lb son, unless you weigh over 300 lbs.
There should also be a weight listing on your front fame down tube.

How heavy are you? Unless 350+ it's a non-issue. This information would be in the OWNERS manual, not a service manual. Owners manuals are free on HD's website. https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....cle/lookupForm

Wow!
The word "OWNERS" didn't even stick out!
I juts read "MANUAL" and thought it was the service manuals.
My mistake!
I dont have an owner's manual but Ill go to the site suggested and get one.
And tx for the tip on the down tube info!
BTW........that info is certainly in the HDSM also right?

I am not sure, I have not looked for that specific info in any of mine, BUT I am just glad that you are getting one. Light that Clymer on fire!
You should be fine with your boy, as mentioned, unless you are north of 300
Do you have the sticker on your down tube? Make sure your tires are at the correct pressure
