My rear passenger kept complaining of back pain during the ride even though I lowered the spring tension.
She never had such complaint when we were on the CBX.
I've seen parcel rack available but not one combined with a backrest.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Funny you mention that. My wife is complaining her back hurts as well- appears to be mainly from the jolt expansion joints and the like give to the bike.
I actually went in the other direction from you- I increased the preload by one click from stock to see if that would help.
My thinking is that we have very little suspension travel, and both of us together are well over the design weight for the bike. If we are already using most of the travel just by sitting on the bike- well....

She said she didn't notice a difference and her back still hurt. I will admit that some of the cracks are quite an impact.
My next step is to buy Ikon shocks. I'm not expecting much difference since they are just many decades old shock design. Modern stuff would have not only compression and rebound, but low and high speed adjustments.
There are shocks made for other bikes that fit ours and would be better but they are #1- much more money, and #2- not visually fitting of the style of my bike.
