Which is why I asked my wife to get on the Shadow's passenger seat, and see how it feels.  She's average sized (5'4" about 120), and realized in about 3 minutes that riding for ANY distance on that seat was not for her.  So, I center-standed the bike, hopped on the back, and promptly agreed.  Tired foam, not wide enough to fit the isschial bones, just plain not good.

Now, by comparison, a friend of mine just picked up a 2005 Goldwing, and that bike is nicely designed for 2-up riding. Even took it out for my first ride on a GW.  What a smooth and strong bike THAT is.
