pillion complaint/numb balls (?) - gethyn - 26-03-13

neither me nor my pillion have got fat arses. when we ride together there's a gap between us and she slides down from her 'ledge' (by that i mean the raised bit of the seat) and finds herself with her arse half on the ledge half on my part of the seat. she's uncomfy and my balls turn blue. she has to shove herself back to get back onto her ledge.

if i lay over the stank my arse skoots back and fills the gap but i'm not going to ride all day flattened over the tank.

has anyone experienced this? and if so have you solved it? i guess she's going to have to lean on the tank but she's small and i hardly notice her presence on the bike and she likes to cling to me a la koala bear.

we've ridden many other bikes together and never had this problem.

any advice gratefully received.

Here's your answer, passengers stick like glue, they work extremely well. Smile

Yep grippy cover works had the same problem when I had the fz6 and worked a treat but I stapled it to the underside of the seat,also got it from Poundland hehe

If the sticky seat don't work you could give this a try - I prescribe 1 to be taken four times a day for the rest of your life - that should cure it!

koalas don't have opposable thumbs so even if she gets through the theory, the controls might create problems.

Re: pillion complaint/numb balls (?) - Chris - 26-03-13

A common problem to be honest, the seat cover/pad thing will help her stay in place, another thing to suggest to her is that when you're about to brake/roll off the throttle and decelerate in any way then she places a hand on the tank to brace herself against and then she'll not slide forward as much.

Nothing worse than getting your balls squashed on the tank Sad

:o :'(

Hope the grippy pad helps

They definitely work, i've had one on the bike for years and couldn't believe the difference.
The main thing for me was having inexperienced passengers nutting me, i think that was my initial reason for buying it in the first place.

2 theories here ... either you learn to ride sitting backwards ...therefore make it worth while her slipping down the seat :b .... or as somwhere above ...the grippy rubber netting stuff worked well when i had my fazer ...

One of these theories is by far the easiest.... better get some longer stalks for your mirrors and turn around buddy! haha.. I wonder how safe crotchless trousers are in an accident.. haha :lol
