Okay, Wifey just sprung it on me that she don't wanna ride her bike on a trip tomorrow.

Trip is about 3.5hrs. Houston,TX to Alexandria, LA approx. 240 miles.

Now, she has ridden with me on short trips, but this put's a little shutter into my thoughts.

I am 6'2" at 245lbs, and she is 5'9" @ 145lbs.

Any ideas on what setting to put on the rear shock????????

Yea, 08 w/18k miles....stock shock.

Not many choices available, Hard spring and 3-5 clicks out from full hard on dampening. Oh, and slow down...there ain't gonna be alot of ground clearance! ;)

Have fun!

If you are going to be doing more riding 2-up you might want to consider aftermarket suspension.
