Passenger sliding forward on heritage
my wife is constanly trying to hold her self up and back on the seat. Anyone else had this problem with your riders on a heritage. I have had three seats on the bike all with the same problem. had three other women on the seat today to try it out and they all had the same problem. The seats all slant towards the front of the bike. So anyone have a fix for this.
Current seat is a mustang wide vintage solo with passenger pillion and riders back rest. Had the stock seat, and a touring pillion all with the same slant towards the front of the bike.

I slide into my hubby alot, but he really enjoys thetit#ies in his back, sometimes i think he does this on purpose. Any way we have an 04 fatboy and we have the same problem on steep hills, and fast/sudden stops. I just usually tighten up those thigh muscles and hang on.

I don't mind the sliding into to me. 
But seriously, the problem is to the point that she does not enjoy riding because she has to work so hard at staying put. if I cant fix the problem I am looking at trading the heritage for a street Glide. AndI really like my Heritage

RE: Passenger sliding forward on heritage
what is she hanging on to?
when the wife and I ride in town she generally has her hands on my hips. If we are doing twisties she just snuggles up close against my back. She has never complained about sliding. she fell asleep a couple of times....that was kinda scary.

I think your best bet is to keep testing with more women. I am sure your wife will understand that you are just trying to figure out the problem.

My wife has that problem, but we found out it was due to the 258 cams and her enjoying the vibration a little too much....
