Well lets just say I weigh 13 stone almost 14 (fatty is me)...

127 two up with a combined weight of 25 stone...not bad at all me thinks.

Got to agree with Plowsie, Grinch and Samnooshka. Don't really have any problems two up, mainly cos I thrash the nuts off it

Even when we had standard suspension it was more than capable.

Nah... it don't struggle, you got that V-Twin torque! Yeah there is more weight on it so it ain't gonna pull like it does solo, but it doesn't struggle!

Bump the preload up a bit and it will feel a bit better!

I'm under 12 stone and even with a light pillion it slows down noticeably. Still capable of 120+ but doesn't pick up half as quick

thats cos yours is a pointy.....

HTH

03-12-07, 11:34 AM

Yeah, one of those pointies with an extra 7hp

03-12-07, 11:37 AM

Still seems to struggle 2 up though

Maybe with all the power normally available; I've just got higher expectations
