Default Wifes 1st Ride !

O.L. and I went to the Iron Pony last week and got her a helmet . This past Monday , she took her first ride as a passenger ! She liked it . Now she says we need a detachable backrest and pad , a wider passenger pillian , and passenger floorboards . .........Kevin

Yep, that's what I got for my wife, Our Heritage rear stock seat really sucked and the ride over the rear tire is diffidently rougher.


GOT HER;
New Touring Pillion seat, and backrest pad. about $250 for both
New detachable backrest and docking. about$160
New rear floorboards, mounting kit, inserts and chrome cover. about $490
New kit to remount bags.. $15

That will really fix her up.

Now I have to talk to her to keep her awake , She'll go to sleep...

She will feel much more secure with a backrest!!

Congrats on her first ride... now just try to go for a ride without her!!

Congrats on getting the little lady on the back.
Now, since she likes it so much, you need to tell her to start riding her own, so you dont have to add a bunch of extra stuff on your bike. If she wants it, she can add it to hers.
(Thats what I told Sally, and it worked!)

Sure wish I could convince her to get her own . Her 2nd cousin bought an 883R just last year . She's thinking about letting it go for payoff . About $6400.00 . She has no time to ride anymore ( new baby girl ) . .............Kevin
