Default Passenger comfort questions

Got an 07 Deluxe. My wife and I are new to the scene. The bike feels great to me, but she has some issues with feeling like there is nothing holding her on the bike. Got her a new seat, and put a sissy bar on. I got the low profile p-pad. She doesn't feel that the p-pad is tall enough. She also feels like she slides forward too much on the decel.

Thought about a bigger p-pad, and either the reach or the sundowner seat.

Any thoughts???

Try passenger floorboards...expensive I know, but much more comfortable than pegs...If the legs are comfortable and there is no struggle to stay in place, the rest of the body will be better..

I went withKuryakyn ISO-Wingmini boards and my wife is very happy with them. She never liked the round pegs and says the mini boardsfeel much better. I suggest giving them a try. Hey for $100 or less if you ebay it seems like a good choice. I also bought a set of underseat pegs for my daughter who is 7 and she really likes them because her legs never touched the boards.

This made a big difference for my wife, too. She thought she was comfortable before, until I got a set of these. They are very solid, and provide a lot of support.
