I'm going darkside on one of my ladies.  I purchase a slightly used Austone from a fellow Valk rider that returned to a M/C tire.

I did a search for "Taxi" , found & read most posts before my eyes glazed over and I had to go for a ride to clear them up.  Didn't find anything related to if/what mods I'll need to do to mount it.

Can anyone give the "heads up" before I find out the hard way?

Thanks,
Hook

depending on how heavy you load the bike. you might have to adjust your shocks a bit to keep from bottoming out.

I know im a super thin 260 and my wife is a trim 120 (read that dyslexic) and we had to run setting 5 with both of us on and a 65 series tire.
