[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 139549, member: 2708"] True the passenger weight doesn't go to the supension, but it does go directly to the rear wheel. Where else can it go? I once placed a 250 lb barbell on the pillion position of a standard c Vincent. Deflection of the rear suspension unit was negligible. Deflection in the rear tire did not require measurement, it was obvious! There are just two wheels to carry all of the weight. The rear gets the full passenger and a whole lot more. The same is true with full suspension, except the big bumps are at least dampened through the suspension, a lot less shocking for the rear wheel and tire. Luggage weight is another topic. All of the Vincent luggage mounts I've looked at are fully suspended, but there may be some types that aren't. Glen [/QUOTE]
