How does your pillion hold on? - Page 6 - SV650.org

When I go pillion, I usually use the grab rail(s), I prefer being upright and grip with my legs as well, allows me to push/pull against the grab rails when accelerating/braking.

My other half, however, has short arms and can't really get on with the grab rail so much prefers grabbing hold of me. We've tried love handles but didn't work for us. I found the bike to be significantly more stable with the weight of the pillion forward (grabbing hold of me). Best thing is to get some non-slip seat covering (either a triboseat cover or some non-slip mat) as this helps lots with sliding around.
