Whats your inseam? Riding 2up, I don't think I would go lower than 11.5", maybe even 12". I have 11" on my 07 Streetbob but I ride solo ONLY. You do hit some pretty hard bumps at times.

I got 11" progressive 412 heavy duty's on my low rider and it seems fine riding 2 up. I'm 6'1" and we are a combined 315 pounds or so...I'm a skinny bastard. The 11" heavy duty's seem to be perfect for us.
