Steve really sorry to hear that. Just an FYI, some of the worst, sharpest jolts I've taken up my back were on my Hyper on the street. Any upright sport or motard bike is going to be rough on the back on choppy roads. I would ride it like a dirt bike and stand up over RR tracks, etc. As you know, I'm not a believer in compromises to the point of riding those huge beasts of road, but what I would suggest is try a Buell Uly for the street if you can find one. The suspension is a lot nicer and they are even supposed to be great two up. Handle dirt roads good too. Later on when I get another road bike that will be a top contender along with the Triumph Tiger. Craig is selling his Husky soon too, still has a numb foot. I'm planning on a '12 GG and will keep the '07 around for awhile for him if he feels better. He can ride his Buell XB9 on the street without problems, as its more lay down than a Uly.
