Default P pad for Bob

I want to keep my Bob solo but want to be able to throw a P pad on once in a blue moon for a quick lift of a passenger. Has anyone tried those suction cup models w/ the front eyelet? Are they anygood or safe for the short ride. Also, where and what type of passenger pegs does anyone use. I have heard my Bob isn't set up for a passanger and that ok 99% of the time. How stable is the handling, rear fender, shocks, etc. Mako[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

I've got one with 6 suction cups on it. I like it because it's easy on and off but be careful if you have the flat black paint because it won't stick for long because you don't have a clear coat. It's nice and tight as long as someones sitting on it but if you put it on and ride to pick someone up it'll fall off on the way there. (Don't ask me how I know that)

I used the HD stock bracket's powdercoated glossy black to match the frame and footpegs to match my froward controls.

theyogawarrior.... I was behind a bunch of metrics Sunday when what I thought was a hat or a bennie helmet fell off right in front of me in my suv... it had bounced around underneath me and I stopped real quick... it was a pill with the suction cups on it was scraped and cut up and the piece that holds the cups was broken... I caught up with the guy that lost it... he was pissed big time.. not at me he.. had lost it before. I forget how much he said he paid for it but it wasn't...cheap... Bad day for him...

I have a 6 suction cup one that matches my leather sprung seat. I have never lost it and it doesn't move at all when someone sits on it. The trick is to have both surfaces completely clean and dry.
