2 up riding darkside

[sherman]

I am sure this has been covered before, but I will ask anyways. Thinking of going dark side this year. I do almost exclusively 2 up riding. Anything to be aware of going DS in this situation?

[fudgie]

Nothing more then the 'normal' DS stuff. Tire psi will help 2 up. To low it will feel bouncy in curves. My tire is rated to 44 psi and I think I have it at 38-40 psi. She will like the ride of it also. Totally different feel for your passenger.

Nut cage mad if you haven't done it already. I don't know what size tire your going to but you MIGHT need to do it. Austone taxi tire i don't THINK needs the mod. RIDE SAFE.

Go ahead and do the nut cage mod, I recommend running carriage bolts from the inside of the fender out as well. I had my sister-in-law ride with me last fall and didn't think to adjust the suspension. She's much larger than her twin (my wife) and the rear bottomed out a few times over 25 miles of riding. I run a General Altimax 205/60 and there was no rubbing at all.

You and your passenger may find that he bike rides smoother, especially at expressway speeds.
