Question Are love handles and triboseat any good for pillions?

I done a few miles over the weekend with my other half pillion and think I need to try a few aids to make it more comfortable, one of them being love handles and the other a triboseat type affair.

Anyone got experience of either or both?

Triboseat is definitely worth it. I take my missus pillion regularly. She slid about at first, but once I got it she's not slid at all, makes us both much happier.

As mentioned in a post i done yesterday, i purchased the triboseat first and the love handles today.
Both are fantastic, my wife was very anti-bike and slowly coming round and these things are helping no end.
That reminds me i must update that original post.

Dazza, I used love handles with Amy on the back. It made everything feel a lot better both physically and mentally. You are welcome to give mine a try if you like. I am in work tomorrow so can drop them off if you like.

If they're that good I may as well fork out. Have found them as cheap as £9.99 on the net and £30 on ebay!!! Done 220 miles this weekend with Sarah on Black Beauty! It's ok but could be better.

both are fantastic.
my mrs doesnt like reaching round the back for a grab handle, so the love handles are much more comfortable for her.
triboseat stops her sliding into me during breaking and crushing me nuts!
i would recommend to anyone

The 'deluxe' ones have grips behind the rider not on the sides as the cheaper ones.
Bikersworld.net £14.99 and £19.99

See - my ex-missus didn't like the love handles - as the can swing forwards and back and aren't that anchored to the belt
