I hate it when people grab on my tank when I give them a ride, but yea these bikes arent meant for passengers so I don't give people rides that much anymore.

It's a street bike...if it wasn't meant for passengers it wouldn't come with passenger pegs and pillion...

hmm that rubber stuff might work. but i aint tryin it on the corbin seat. maybe the stock one. yeah, passanger leaning too much is a pain too.... but it was worth it when i took my younger cousin whos 13. he's one of those kids thats like, "yeah, yeah, go faster!" it was funny. id be going around a nice left turn at an easy speed, and id feel the bike move more than i wanted, and i look back there, and hes leaning off the side tryin to knee drag it.

im like "whatre you doin dummy? were going into the other lane!" needless to say, I was doing the counter-leaning that day.

haha yeah but we all know that "other term" for a passenger seat on a bike... the most important seat is the riders - who cares about the "other term"

how about duct tape? it works for EVERYTHING...

Just tell them to brace themselves by puttting their hands on the tank when you're slowing down. That should help.

I think alot of it depends on the passenger...bc I took a friend of mine who had ridden on the back of street bikes before for a ride and she did perfectly fine...didnt lean hard on me when braking(she put her hands on the tank) or shift the weight of the bike a whole lot.....now earlier tonight I took a girl i work with for a ride....first time ever one a motorcycle...and omg was it noticable lol. Felt like she wanted to break my ribs every time i accelerated...even slowly. And man did she just lay on me when it came time to brake. Much more work involved in riding people who dont know how to ride just yet.

anybody who's had numerous girls on the bike of there bikes knows. if they have confidence in you thats awesome. the hands on the tank thing works great for them and us for short rides. most girls complain of having to lean over and support themselves but if you tell them to do it just when braking and accelerating -ie the city and intersections- and then sit up when your crusing on the hway all's well. them pinching there legs together works good. and it is cute when they hug the $hit out of you. tell them not to lean to much. looking over the shoulder is all you'll ever need. i wont tell you guys out there who pops wheelies with your girl that your stupid. thats on you and your grown a$$ adults. i personally just couldnt live with that girl dying if i lose control of it. ive been down with a girl on the bike and ive slowed down ever since. hope this helps.

My rule of thumb---

A wife is not meant to ride on the back of a sport bike, only girlfriends or short term relationships.

If your wife wants to go on the back of a motorcycle, get a tourning bike.

ive only rode one person on the back of a dirtbike a couple years ago and hit a tree cause i was trying to turn and they were leaning the other way the damn bike stayed straight. never again, the first thing i did when i got my crotch rocket was take the passenger pegs off.

do you guys take people with you for rides on occasion. I like to take my girlfriend. I go with my family and their bikes. so sometimes i have my gf on the bike, sometimes my mom, or my aunt. They all say its a pain in the ass because they keep on having to scoot back because they always slide forward, and there's a big gap between the end of the seat and my back. so they feel like they're gonna fall into that space. I baught a corbin seat (mainly for the gf...shes got a big booty) and it has that hump in the front....but that doesn't seem to help much. shes says the seat feels alot better, but she still slides forward. do you guys have issues with your passangers?

lol...get some Stomp grips for her...
