Bottom line questions: Did the Lightning come in a “two-up†configuration? Could “Red Molly†have sat on the back with her feet dangling, for any length of time?
Of the 31 Black Lightnings built none came as a two-up bike, they were strictly built for racing with lightened engine components and a well reduced frame. The smallish "ironing board" seat would have held two but the passenger's legs would have indeed dangled as there were no passenger pegs.
These excellent examples of both the Rapide (later the Black Shadow with an all blacked out engine) and Comet show excellent passenger capabilites:
