I was considering an XB12STT. However, I noticed on the stock seat, it has a large passenger icon with a line through it indicating, "No Passengers." Is this due to the subframe/seat being to flimsy or just a DOT requirement since the bike has no passenger pegs? If I want to carry a passenger someday, would I have to buy a whole new subframe or can I just slap on some pegs and be done with it? In a related question, what is the most comfortable two-up seat for this bike and are the seats and pegs hard to come by now that Buell is no longer in indentured servitude to HD? | ||

The STT's rear suspension is sprung for a single rider. The rest of the bike is the same as an SS. You'd need a better seat (more padding) for the passenger and foot pegs to carry a passenger. Keep in mind that the suspension won't have the range of adjustment, but for short trips and "burger night" you should be fine. | ||

Buell sold a 2up conversion kit for the STT, it was just passenger pegs and a different seat. Requires removal of the number plates. You can get used peg brackets and a seat cheap.  | ||

Thanks Ft_Bstrd and Froggy... On the suspension, how light is it sprung? I'm 215 in gear and like .95 kg/mm fork springs usually... Not sure about the rear spring rate that I normally use as I seem to usually find the adjustment works ok with whatever spring I've had, but is the STT sprung that soft? | ||

Rah7777 has some passenger pegs in the classified. |
