Only place for my wife is on the back of my bike. At 36 I am an uncommonly "traditional" kind of guy. I hope that doesn't offend anyone, that's just the way it is.
what if she wanted to ride her own?
Its probably one of the reasons I'm "down" one husband, but "up" 2 bikes!!!!

I had a 1200- a very stiff ride, top heavy, and tiresome vibration. I rode a friend's ribber mounted Sporty for a few miles last fall- a bit less vibration, and he had the pull back bars, which made the riding position a little less forward leaning. I would imagine that the 883L or the Nightster would put a woman a little more flatfooted and lower into the bike, correct the center of gravity issue a bit?
They are top heavy. It has to do with the jugs. Getting one's tush lower will correct the center of gravity a wee bit but the sickle itself will always be top heavy. Again it is the Mystic of having a hardley that seems to weigh heavily, not the handling.  And no, no Timothy Leary for me  Just coffee black.

So you're saying the Sportster is a lady's bike?
