Just think how funny I look on an Ultra at 5'8" and only 200 lbs. ROFLOL!!!!! Like everyone says. Make sure you adjust the air pressure right for the ride and you will be more than fine. Enjoy the trip!!!!!

It's amazing how the weak minded can jump to conclusions. And about jumping...
I'm over 300 - think you can keep up with me on a jump rope?
To the OP; just keep the RPM's up, you'll be fine, works for me...
Enjoy!

Yep, I believe it. At that height, comfort in the saddle will be an issue. Have a great trip and have fun.

I fully agree with what IgenF wrote.

With a fully loaded bike and 2 up riding; I turn off 1/3 of the tire tread in 4 days of riding across Utah and Nevada in 118 degree temperature.

Unbelievable!!!!!

Ride In Peace

+1 on the daily check of tire pressure. Cold tire checks are best. First thing in the morning as you are doing the safety checks and loading up. Enjoy and ride safe!

You need to call Shaq. He might have something for you. Anyways, load up those shocks to the max pressure and check your tires like everone else is saying. Dont they have a trunk relocation kit to where it slides the trunk further back?.

Being 6'8" you couldn't afford to lose the weight without looking like a toothpick or a drug addict.
