Two years and 4000 miles later. We ride this thing two up all over the place all the time with nary a worry. I even had a twin cam bud ask me a couple weeks ago if this was a stock engine(stock with Andrews J). Apparently he was having to throttle up a bit more than he thought was necessary to keep up with me on the up hill grades.I had a real good chuckle to myself and simply told him this is how they are when they are correct. There is something to be said for a stock 74 incher.
