My wife hasn't complained but now that you mention it I do notice that she often has to scoot back on the seat after I brake. Hmm.. I'll have to ask her about that. Adding foam to incline her seat a little ios good idea.

I asked my wife to see if she has any issues that she hasn't told me about. She said it really depends on what she's wearing, and how hard I take off and stop.

As others have stated, my wife has the tourpak in the rear and I have a riders backrest which is of course in front of her. She also uses a sheepskin butt pad from Alaska Leathers which prevents her from sliding around.

Are her legs not long enough for her feet to reach the foot pegs?

My lady has never had a complaint. With tour pak, with sissy bar or without either.

Was thinking of maybe angleing the foam slightly to offset the flatness.
Thanks

Nah - between my fat a$$ and the tourpak, my wife is stuck in there pretty well!
