She says her butt vibrates so much that it gets numb. My previous bike was a Ducati that loved high revs, so I was very surprised to hear her complain (not to mention the seat was hard as a rock).

When the bike is running and I put my hand on the passenger seat I can definitely feel it vibrate, but I dont know if this is abnormal. I admit I dont have a lot of harley experience so I dont know that I would know what is normal or not.

You advice about having someone else ride it w/ me is good, I didnt think of that, I will try it.

I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I am 6'4'' and did try riding on the passenger pillion while driving the bike. I didnt think to put my feet on the passenger pegs though. I will try that too (I have long arms so its not hard for me to do this).

Thanks again.
