I ran 2 up sometimes, just popped a pillion on the back and down the road we went. I put the pegs in the hole just below where the stock pegs are. When they folded out, they sat just above the pipe. They never touched and it looked better in the lower hole.

Mine was lowered 2" and with the old lady, it scraped everything. Not complaining, just sayin. Passenger peg on left is pretty close to the pipe, but no clearance issues.

Took mine out on her maiden voyage today 2up and she rolled smooth as silk! The Shotgun lived up to everything I've read and she rolled without issue. Just leveled the Cholos out and we rolled every turn, bump, and corner without 1 scrap. The entire suspension was like rollin in an Escalade! No poop, I was very happy with her.

Oh and I'm running passenger floorboards that I slip on when the OL wants to go and they fit fine.
