Default Burr Trail, Ut

I know this road can be ridden solo but my bud will have a passenger this trip on his 05 Wide Glide.
Anyone ridden this road west to east, down the switchbacks, 2 up?

Isn't the majority of this road dirt/gravel?

First 20-25 miles heading east (Burr Trail Road) from Boulder, Ut is paved.
That's where most people turn around and head back.
I found a vid of the road including the switchbacks, doable if you're riding solo, looks iffy riding 2-up.
Was looking for someone that has ridden the switchbacks down into the valley.

I rode it last year on my RG wouldn't recommend it unless you are an expert rider lots of loose gravel ruts and wash outs not too many places to turn around if you decide it's too much.
