Did you know that a SEUC weighs 51 pounds more than a stock Ultra? Radio, leather, GPS etc?
yep...looked at the tag on the steering neck when they had it apart at traxxion. Even though we swap parts, generally, when we put chrome on, it weighs a bit more. Just the Corbin seat on mine is at least twice as heavy as the stocker. I haven't put mine on scales, but I'll bet my paycheck it's 900+lbs. If I remember, the GVW is well under 1400 lbs...
Think of some of the riders you see, plus passenger, plus bags full, tourpak full, luggage on the rack, trailer in some cases....
Hell, just me and Suzanne are a shade over 300 lbs, and I'll bet we are on the light side just because we're both small people. I've seen some going down the road that I'm sure would be 16 or 17 hundred pounds easily....Suzzane and I are probably near the limit on a 5 day trip.
There's a big fudge factor built into the GVW, I hope...
