Default RE: Deluxe passenger seat question

my wife really doesn't ride enough for me to spend the money on that passenger pillon yet. Maybe one day I'll get it. She will ride with me every now and then; but she realizes that riding with my "boys" is the only hobby I have so she lets me have that. No basketball, no fishing, no hunting, just riding

Hey blue rose New here but have been reading for more than a year . Finally figured out how to use this crazy thing. My daughter is about 5'0 100 lb and she loves to ride all day long. I have the larger pillion seat but after a few hours i can feel her start to get tired but she refuses to give in and admit it. I'm looking for a seat cover-maybe sheep skin to give just a little more padding.I think i could use one myself.

hehe...I could probably use one myself too. I haven't taken her on any really long rides yet. She's not shy about complaining so I'm sure I'll hear about it pretty quick

My wife was only able to ride with the stock pillion for about 20 minutes. I bought the sundowner which replaces both the pilot seat and the pillion. The wife loves it. We've done 4 and 5 hour trips since. Hell, it's even better for me.

Enjoy!

I bought the Corbin combo and the wife loves the one piece pillion and backrest, pricey but comfy.
