Carrying capacity - GS1150
I'm curious about two-up adventure touring on a GS. According to a road test I read, the carrying capacity of the Adventure model is only 375-ish pounds. I'm assuming the standard model is similar. I'm 200 lbs, and my wife is 140. With luggage we'd be hitting the max pretty quickly. Are there frame/suspension upgrades that can improve the bike's carrying capacity? Or has BMW given owners a very conservative number? I see lots of people riding heavily loaded GS bikes...
