A recent post got me to thinkin' "what am I hauling around?". Would I even know if I overloaded my bike? Here is some numbers:
1259 - grvw for a 2003 HD Road Glide
776 - dry weight of my bike
30.37 - weight of 5 gallons gas
65 - weight of Ghost Wheels system
175 - me
After deducting everything from the gross vehicle weight, I got 212.63 pounds left over for wife, tools, jackets, rainwear, helmets, pickanik basket, etc.. I won't say what the Mrs. weighs, but we exceed the grvw without the gear.
So, do you know the capacity of your ride?
