Just the usual proviso about watching out for the grip. or possible lack of, for a couple of hundred miles, although with the extra weight of a pilllion it may be less of an issue.

I've just had a Z6 fitted to my 2000 curvy and it didn't sip and slide one bit. Take it easy and you'll be fine.

I scrubbed in the rear before this one on an org rideout with a pillion, no problems. Take it easy for a bit then build it up gradual.
