The rear shocks should be on the "5" setting for two up. The easiest way to adjust it is with a spanner wrench (10 bucks at harley)

Do a search on "speedo condensation" I think a few have drilled a hole and used a hair dryer...not sure.

Fuel gauge is crap...set the tripometer (by using the speedo reset button) when you fill up. Fuel after 160 miles and you will be ok, varies per bike and ride.

Buy a shop manual right away, most valuable tool you can have for your bike. You can find them on e-bay for resonable.
