Grippier Pillion seat?
I... well my missus was wondering if you can make the pillion seat on a k5 svs any grippier?
even under light breaking she seems to slide forwards, into the back of me. im being really smooth whilst she is on the back with smooth breaking and smooth acceleration so she is really happy on the back but just finds herself sliding, she prefers holding onto me than the grab rail. you guys got any advice? or any aftermarket stuff advised? |

Re: Grippier Pillion seat?
Quick tip.......we saved our money and just bought 2 anti slip mats (designed for dashboards of cars etc) from Wilkos.....Lily no longer slides into me at all.

Re: Grippier Pillion seat?
Thee wonder web stuff wesigned to stop luggage marking or slipping about on your plastics and seat also works damned well. Can be cut and tied/stapled/glued etc in place quite well.

YC's just recently got some of those sticky grips (Stomp pads I think they're called) to put on the sides of the tank, could that type of thing work for a seat too ? |

Re: Grippier Pillion seat?
Stompgrip not really, the rubber matting stuff is apparently great though.
Dizzyblonde uses it on her corbin seat which is quite slippery for her, says it makes it loads better.

Re: Grippier Pillion seat?
Not sure if the K5 seat is any different from the K4 seat but you do slide more with textiles on,i grip with my knees to stop me sliding.

Re: Grippier Pillion seat?
you can buy a bespoke rear seat cover made form the none slip stuff
just stretches over and pulls tight.. Kim had one on the curvy and it was ace- she stopped sliding in to me |
