Huh!!?? It's not a truck!
Anyhow, we are taking a 3week, 4,000 mile trip in August. Rider + passenger + luggage, will be about 450#s. Done it before, and barely notice it...except going up very steep inclines.

That's what I was thinking.
I'm 285, and the Mrs. is 175, and according to specs that leaves very little room for luggage. As has been mentioned, I've observed folks who are considerably larger than us (and sometimes pulling a trailer) riding, and they seem to do just fine.
Since a Tri-Glide has in essence 2 car tires on the back, it seems they could easily do better than 480 or so ...
