Mark; I think what was being asked was, have you ridden with some ballast in the passenger seat, not have you had a passenger in that seat.
Couple of sacks of sand, or sack-crete, or something you can secure with the seat belt, just adding weight till you get something significant there. Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildr...@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net
