at the moment it is both dangerous and illegal.
I believe there is a list of breakers at the back of MCN, invest my young padawan.

possibly, but you will do one or two trips, loathe it and go back to the single. I was the same way. But soon as id given pillion and felt my bike literally die under the extra weight at that position (believe me its spanners out EVERYtime you take a pillion as from that high up they just squish the rear suspension).
Not to mention its very hard to not wheely it with a pillion on the back if you try and do any fast things, and they arent graceful impressive wheelies. Trust me on that too.
One up it is beautiful if underpowered, two up... its a monster.

Erm, lets just say, with the seat as it is, I can barely get me feet down if i rest on the back bit. They cant hold on to the seat, no grab bars, and to far from your back to hold you properly.
My rear suspension is a bit shite, which probably didnt help, but the handling (which is by far its best bit) just goes, even with a good pillion who isnt trying to kill you, throw it into a corner and they slip, thus shifting the weight about. Its just not cricket.
If you could figure out a way to get a hornet esque seat on it, it would be fine.
Pickup is alot slower tho, engine braking is still just as sharp.
Oh and even tho you dont have stock exhaust with the nasty chamber thing at the bottom, watch out for ground clearance, even at like 1 mph 2 up, i was hitting speed bumps with the underside. And at anything about about 50 odd it had been know to catch tar overbanding once or twice 
Its just the geometry and leverage, that high and far back, it just crumples it. Hence you MUST adjust preload to stiffer.
