2 up riding

[chaz7771931]

Looking at getting a Elka stage 2 rear shock for 2 up riding. Wonding if anyone has it on there ride and how well it works. I'm over 200 and the other person riding is around 160 and have gone about 50 miles 2 up and the stock set up seem to sag and rebounds more then I like. The bike has just over 20k on it and having the 20k service later this month.

Thanks

Sorry all have a 2010 RT with stock set up and adjustable air ride. Thanks for all the replies

I think it would help if we knew what bike you had... :thumbup:

We used to weigh more than that ( I lost 70 pounds) and the stock RT rear shock is fine. Check your air pump is working if you have a model with that. For side to side sway the Baha Ron sway bar will fix that. My wife would not ride the RT until I replaced the sway bar...

Depends....

Would definately help and many have changed. Question is what suspension you have now...adjustable manual, adjustable air manual, air compressor self adjusting. There are stiffeners available as well. Also check out the progressive, Fox, RaceTec, Wilber shocks...:thumbup:

Do you know where I can get a 2 up shock? Thanks for the reply I dont think I could get in done in an hour new to the spyder family, but like the spyder to be able to ride again after having back issues.

In 2011, we put over 10,000 miles riding two up on my 2010 RTS. Our combined weight was more than you stated. No issues. Mine had the air adjustable shocks on it.

Felt a bit "cozy" so the next year, I got Linda her own RT to ride. :yes:

I put Elkas on front and back. Best money I've spent on my Spyder F3-S, and yes we ride two up and I've got you beat on weight.

Thanks for the info I will get one over the winter and the sway bar to have it ready for next seasons riding.

Thanks to everyone for the information
