Do you carry a passenger on your Majesty?

My wife has been my passenger on three trips through Arkansas of 400 to 450 miles per day. The first was on a BMW R100RS, the second on a BMW K1200RS and the most recent on the Majesty. She says the Majesty is by far the most comfortable. She tried several foot positions and still isn't satisfied with the foot rests, but it is a minor problem. She has a back rest, which she likes. We had the stock windshield at the time. I put on a Givi touring screen this week and I'm sure she'll be even more comfortable now. I know I am.

. . . what I really notice is the added weight coming to a stop. There's been many a time when I've misjudged a stop and have to do it abruptly.
I know. The last yard of so of travel before coming to a stop, with the weight of a passenger, is tricky. If the bike is leaning the least bit, I feel a tipover coming if I don't get my feet down. So I snatch it to a stop and get my feet planted, a very jerky manuver that results in Annie's sliding forward onto my back and her helmet hitting mine. She says I need to work on my technique.
