My wife & I are not small by any measure & we have ridden on my 07 FLH on many a day. Outside of bottoming out on one bridge, the FLH has handeled our weight without harm. Altho our new favorite ride is the 2010 Tri Glide. ( But that's another subject...)

+1 255's will make a BIG difference! Also, keep the RPM up above 2800 to keep you in a good power band, IMO.

Thanks for all the info. Hit the road and clocked just under 800 miles. Had a fun trip and even pulled the tent trailer. Ran into a great group of people from Canada and had a blast
