Love my Austone!  I recently ordered another and will have it installed when my current one gets to the wear bars.  Great handling characteristics solo and two up, and good in the twisties.

Also, some have reported this tire rubs the fender well especially two up; I have never had any rubbing issues two up and fully loaded.  I think the key is 13" heavy duty Progressive 44X series shocks.  I'm currently running 13" HD 444s and love the setup.
