If you noticed on Radpower's website the Radrunner passenger package is not compatible with a suspension seatpost, which is true.  The seatpost will bottom out on the passenger seat, so I mounted the rear seat a bit further back which now allows the suspension seatpost to articulate correctly now.  New mounting holes were drilled in the rack which barely fit with the limited places the screws could go.

Great to know this. I hadn't thought of that issue for those who are shorter riders. I'll definitely be referring folks back to this thread so they can see it is possible.

I have pretty much the same setup and love the cushioned ride along with about 25 psi inch the tires. But there is a trade off that the seat is about 4 inches higher which takes away some of that low rider feel. Haven't decided if I like it but I do like a comfy seat.

I feel the same way, might try the cloud 9 on a regular seat post.

I need to change my seat as well and I was curious to know if you tried this or not?

No, I have not purchased a regular seat post yet.
