I've been using a Pletscher double on my 2009 LHT since I built it, and on another touring bike before that. I love it. Nothing bad to say about it at all. I guess the only downside is that when the rear is loaded with more than about eight pounds the front wheel pops off the ground rather than the rear, and that causes the front wheel to turn till the bars hit the top tube. I suppose it could scratch the paint eventually.
