[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1124489, member: 19178"] A lot of good advice here. But I need to ask.....why is having a passenger tough on your shoulders? Is she holding on to the top of your shoulders for support as you ride? Bad idea, if she is. I use a factory top box, and that gives my wife (and, by osmosis, me) a secure feeling when accelerating. I also purchased a set of Love Handles, as mentioned previously. My wife LOVES these, and it is another level of security for her. My wife is also an "active" rider, paying attention to the upcoming road, and leans with the bike, plus it gives here better leverage when I'm braking. Master Yoda riding position may help with your shoulder problem, too. Personally, I came from a sportier bike, and have rotated the handlebars to their forward position. I also want to cut down my windshield to give me cleaner air at helmet level. Good luck with your dilemma, and if you get it right, she may want to ride more. Sorry about that part. [/QUOTE]
