Default Re: Me and Sissy

to be honest it rides much better... Seems the heavier frame and larger wheels dampens the road bumps. Before If I hit a manhole the thing would come down hard and a little off balance. Now I hardly noticed them.

It really doesn't seem that much faster since I didn't let it out anyway. I kind of kept the speed down this first ride. It's too cold to really go anywhere.

With this handlebar configuration I can use a front, old lady basket. I think I might just do that after I clean the rust off the bars. I hate that I can't use an end bar mirror. I really like the one on the sissy bike. I'm gonna have to figure something since I really do miss the mirror now that I'm used to having one. One thing I did learn, best to just go ahead and get a convex mirror to glue over the regular one. Otherwise it will never be in adjustment when you need it.
