[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 125642, member: 161"] Danno, You have to study the geometry a bit to understand how the standard setup works. A simple way to look at it is that the rider gets to use the full suspension movement because the front half of the seat doesn't move much when you hit a bump. The passenger gets the benefit of approximately half the suspension movement because the supports for the rear of the seat mounts half way along the rear frame member so the rear of the seat moves up a distance approximately half the movement of the rear wheel. (Lever ratios and smoke and mirrors. ;)) [/QUOTE]
