Default 06 Softail

We just bought a Heiritage and it handles nice when I am on it by myself. When the wife is on the back the steering is akward. Would it help much to adjust the shocks? It can be a little scary at times turning at a low speed.
Thanks, Craze

Default RE: 06 Softail

Most important, check your tire pressure. You should have 40 rear and 36 front when riding two up. You can air the rear down to 36 for solo riding.
