I run Progressive 412's (Heavy Duty) 12" . I ride 2 up all the time also, and only have to use the middle setting. When hauling passenger + luggage, I go to the next setting. When riding solo, I ride on the second softestsetting.
Eastern Performance is where I got mine from. They have them right now for 185.00 + FREE shipping!
Also spend the extra 100.00 and find some Progressive Fork Springs too. Not too hard of an install, and WELL worth it! For 300.00 totalyou will have a MUCh better handling ride. Especially for 2-UP riding.

I'd second this answer and PS, if you do a lot of 2up riding I don't recommend lowering the back or front. I got 412's (standard as I am only 150lbs and wife 110lbs) in 12" and it doesn't bottom out any more (ok it did once but it was a huge bump).
