Ashlee K 46 Posted June 9, 2013 I have a 2003 Honda shadow 750. Was wondering if after weight loss will I be able to hold it up. Does anyone have an issue with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PainInTheGlass 50 Posted June 9, 2013 I ride a 2010 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom, but unfortunately I'm no help to you because I had surgery less than a week ago. I am interested in seeing how this plays out. Thanks for asking the question! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're doing what your surgeon tells you, you should lose weight but not strength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jammieann 0 Posted July 15, 2013 I have a 2009 street glide. I'm one year out and 135 lbs down. I don't have any problems with my bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stef 264 Posted July 15, 2013 If you could hold it up before, you'll be able to hold it up after. WLS doesn't deplete your skeletal stability Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikrchk 1,313 Posted September 2, 2014 I ride a Harley Street Glide (pretty big touring bike) and after a 90 pound weight loss I DID have some issues with control in parking lots! I dropped a couple of times over the summer and it had been years since that happened for me! But nothing that couldn't be fixed with some re-training on the part of the rider! I found that I needed to get out and practice counterbalancing in tight situations. I did finally end up replacing my 08 Street Glide with a 2014 Street Glide Special which feels a bit tighter due to the re-work on the frame\fairing but in reality is just as big a bike as my 08. I've seen women smaller than me throw around an Ultra like it was a toy! It has little to do with your size as long as you can flat foot and everything to do with your skill!
