Has anyone tried one of these or have personal experience from someone you know? I'm thinking of getting the suction cup one to fit over bare fender but concerned sticking anything on the paint! The stock pillon already left its mark...

 

No thoughts so far eh? Guess I will have to pioneer this one and try it out. The wife and I plan on attending the local HOG rally and go for a 200 mile guided trip. I know she won't hang with the OEM pillion. I will report back after...

 

I have been eyeballing that seat also.But I think I'm going to send my
passenger pillion to Mean City Cycles and have them work their magic.

 

Hi Jay: I've got one of those that I mount on the back of a Badlander seat when I ride 2 up. My daughter really likes it. It's not the suction cup version, though. If you want to borrow it to have your wife try it out, just let me know.

 

Let me know how you like it if you don't mind. I am thinking about doing the same. My wife HATES my fastback...

 

I told any girl if they can't stand for my seat, don't ride with me. Now matter how comfy butty buddy is, it will not go on my bike, it is fugly even with passenger on imao.
For the suction cups, I can bet you anything it will leave marks on the fender in a long run. Safety is my other concern.
Sorry man

 

Thanks Crazy! I would definitely like to try that out. I'll give you a call later today.

128auto- I hear ya all the way around. They're not built for style. And I am thinking that the suction cups will leave marks too. Just wonder if it will be any worse than the stock pillion...

themouth- I will definitely let ya know bro. The wife is finally showing some interest in riding again. And if she goes more, that means I can go more. We only have 1 day off together and that seems to be the only time I can ride. So she gives me all kinds of grief about not spending time with her on that 1 day.

 

wife been using one for 3 years and lves it

 

I hear ya. My wife doesn't like to ride but she raises heck when I take off for a week or so...

 

I use the HD pass pillion, it does mess up the fender so I went down to my local window tinting guru's and had them fab me up a 3m clear cover (just like the clear rock chip bras on cars) works like a dream tough to see looks nice and does not scratch the fender and the clear does not scratch and look like crap either. Works fantastic!
