Took my wife out for a ride on the 749S, 1st time ive had a bi posto and everytime I braked, slowed down she was sliding into me, (DONT SAY IT ) so is there anything to do to stop this or do I need to recover the back seat with another type of material ?
Anyone fixed this problem?:P

Gudday Rick - where does she put her hands mate?

Seriously, if she reaches around you and has her hands on the tank then she won't slide forward. She might not be big enough I appreciate ...

Had the same problem on my 748, problem solved with a product called " Triboseat" & the use of a pair of lovehandles

Giggay TP well I cant say where her hands are and you know the Swedish girls big in the places that are meant to. Must have been some reason why I left SUNNY Perth to move to SWEDEN....
Ok I have brought the " Triboseat" so lets hope that workd ( THANKS Chris)
But Ive done a search for the "Lovehandles" but I cant find any :P
Anyone know where to buy them ?? and dont say a pub !

Even the most nervous pillion passenger will feel more secure thanks to this simple, but very effective, new invention.
Heavy braking, cornering and acceleration no longer pose any problems, even if your bike's got no grab rail and your leathers don't offer anywhere to grab on to.
In fact, the Pillion Pal is a lot less strain on shoulders and arms than a grab rail.
