im about 11 stone in kit about 12 stone probably (back box on the bike as well....i know say no more...commuter)
I have taken a pillion many times, infact paulthewitt on here is my bro and he has been on the back plenty...
I feel it copes well, although somne argue it is oversprung for my weight i find it ok, i just reduced the compression damping a bit and uped it with a pillion.
I am no suspension expert but would like to think i feel a difference in the bikes handling. I have the old shock on now and i feel this is more responsive and gives more feedback whilst giving me confidense and road holding.
Overall a great CHEAP upgrade, of course it will never beat an ohlins or similar but they are about 5 times the pice if not more...imo
