Interstate: 1252 + Carrying Capacity 419 = 1671 lbs

Avon Chrome tire load capacity, Front 783 + Rear 908 = 1691 lbs

Not an acceptable margin of error in my book.

For 2 up riding,  200+110 lbs, what is good  setting on the shocks on the  Interstate?
Are the shocks so sensible that riding solo require immediate adjusting of the shock if they set for 2 up riding?

Example:
I weigh 270; she weighs 140.
About 50% of the time, she goes along.
Setting #4 (outta 5 ) is perfect for us on my I/S, especially since I put new poly bushings in the OEM shocks.
No need to change shock settings for riding solo here.
At your combined weights, I'd set the shocks on '3' and forget them!

I've loved many bikes, over the last 52 years of riding, but this Valkyrie machine may have propelled me headlong into IDOLATRY....
