[QUOTE="justacrossthehill, post: 1447060, member: 92816"] She's had both knees replaced but they still give her a lot of trouble. I have a set of those on the FJR too and they helped a lot but it's more than just the peg height, the RK is easier to get on and off, has a great backrest, has full passenger floorboards plus a better seat, and overall more room in the back. On the FJR I could feel her squirming all the time trying to get comfortable but on the RK I hardly ever feel that plus when I ask if she wants to rest, most of the time she says she's OK. The HD is growing on me too but I do wish they had put less emphasis on chrome and more on the suspension. I'm certainly not recommending for everybody to trade their FJR for a HD but if you can deal with the weight, they're awfully good bikes for 2 up riding especially after everyone puts on some weight and no longer fits into the clothes they wore when they were 50 years old. She rode with me for years on a 05 FZ1 until that was no longer practical and I'm just trying to adapt so she can keep on riding with me. So far, it's working. [/QUOTE]
