We took a little 2-up ride today. My passenger is not used to not having a back rest of some sort but she did fine. The handholds were pretty much useless, hidden down under the seat but she held onto my waist.

I did notice that the extra weight really improved the suspension. It felt more cushy.

I will be gone for a week to WV on another bike, leaving in the morning tomorrow but when I get back, I will lighten the rear preload and try it solo.

I repositioned my mirror/controls to suit and adjusted the shifter level as well. Things feel custom made for me now.

I agree. No lack of power for fully loaded bike!

Whilst an aftermarket fully adjustable suspension would be ideal....I suspect the stock suspension will improve as it breaks in.
