Tell her to get her own bike. Carrying a pillion screws up the handling.

I know the handling isnt as good two up but she loves coming on the back so i dont mind.

Grippy seat and grab rail for me then. Problem looks to be solved thanks to the org.

Taking a pillion is rubbish. Being a pillion is rubbish. Fit a single-seat cowl and forget about it.

Don't brake so hard



Try stompgrips. I've got them on the Thunderace and they helped solve the problem for me.
