RE: 2-up balance question
and keep in mind that on many bikes the passenger seat is a bit higher than the riders. this means that with a rider, not only is there more weight to hold up, but also the center of gravity is higher. the higher center of gravitynecessitates more adjustment on any lean.again the importance of no movement from the passenger in most situations.

RE: 2-up balance question
Some great advice here....So here is the picture perfect 2 up stop.
1. Passenger sits still and centered.
2. Sit bolt upright on the approach, like you are sitting at attention. You will have a lot more control at slow speeds.
3. Apply brakes evenly all the way.
4. Keep your focus straight ahead.
This works 8 out of 10 times. your bike will come to a perfect upright stop.....Don't forget to put your foot out!
