I'm new to the S3T ownership, and was wondering if anyone out there does any touring with about 300 lbs. total on their bike?

I have not done much touring 2 up honestly but I am a little over 200 lbs and when my wife rides with me, we will be pushing over 300 lbs on the bike and that is minus gear.

Welcome to the S3 ranks! Enjoy!

Shouldn't be a problem at all. I've gone on several long rides with both saddlebags full, a full tankbag, and camping gear strapped onto the pillion seat.
