passenger discomfort itch
 
I have done a search on the forum but couldn't find any related posts. My passenger, who shall remain nameless, complains of itchiness where the bike makes contact with her body. The spots are on the sole of her feet (on foot peg), back of her calves (touching the saddle bags), and her lower back (touching the back rest). She believes the vibration of the bike is the culprit and says it gets worse in higher rpms.
Has anyone heard of this?

They make passenger pegs and floor boards with vibration absorbing padding. Don't know if it would help...but they're out there.

Tell her to just think of it as a 20k viberator.
