We have a seatpost shim on ours so that we can use a standard threadless stem. We got an adjustable one so we could tweak it.
Ultimately, it's a downside to older tandem frames, they keptthe stoker right up your arsethings compact to improve stiffness.

We took our Claud Butler Majestic Two out for a Saturday night wild camp and a 45km lost lanes route on the Sunday, our first time out loaded and it felt surprisingly good.
Few things to improve:
1) I'm still not convinced about the front handlebars, the rise is much better than the flat bars that she had previously but I might try something with slightly less sweep.
2) Both front and back gears could also definitely do with re-index.
3) Stoker handlebars are a bit close to the captains seat, where is the best place to get a longer stoker stem?
