You will be fine! I'm 6 foot 225 and my GF is 5'5" an 155. We rode two up for over 200 mile though the mountains mostly in the woods and forrest service roads with some pavement. The mule will climb any hill in 1st gear, even two up. Have fun. We had a blast and can't wait to take our next adventure.

I ride 2up all the time. I will say though, if you like to sit way back on the seat you will have a problem. I personally dont mind straddling the tank. To each his own I suppose. I do prefer to ride alone but dont tell my girlfriend that!

What he said. Straddling the tank gives you a lot better control off road anyway.

Google. Estore prices and policies change faster than politicians' promises. Shop carefully each time.

Yea Ive found a bunch of stuff to get what I want done. If i want a swingarm extenstion Ill just have a REAL bike shop do it. Dont realllly want one tho I still wanna trail it. Is there a writup on how to change the rear sprocket

Remove the rear wheel.

Remove tyhe sprocket bolts.

Toss the old sprocket like a frisbee.

Assembly is the reverse of above.

Use Loctite.



JT sprockets have an inset mounting area. Flat side to hub. Couple of flat washers on each bolt to prevent nut from running out of threads.

We ride 2up a lot and are about the same size as you and your wife, a few inches taller on my passenger though, and everything is fine. She loves to ride with me, even offroad. Thankfully my saddle bags come off quick, because they get in the way of her legs otherwise.



There is a thread on here somewhere that I started about this same topic and there were a bunch of responses from folks that do the same. To sum up this overly long post, you will be fine and have lots of fun

TWs have one of the highest load carrying capacities in the motorcycle industry. You won't overload the tires.
