Default SG Sundowner seat passenger problem
Anyone have a problem with their passesger sliding around with the sundowner seat. Took a 150 mile trip and wife had a problem every time I started and stopped. She said when I took off she was sliding back, and if I would brake she would slide forward. I noticed the seat is smooth and very flat. Anyone change the passenger area on their seat? Was thinking of maybe angleing the foam slightly to offset the flatness.
Thanks

I have the Sundowner seat on my SG. Either put a tour pack on or a sissy bar. My wife complained about sliding around on my Corbin dual tour and wouldn't ride without the sissy bar on.

Haven't heard her complaining, and believe me if she had a complaint, I would hear it. But like BaggerDriver most of the time when momma's on the bike I have the tourpak on.

Marry her, in about 5 years she'll have gained so much weight, she'll just barley fit on the damn thing.

Seriously: Do you have a sissy bar? You need one.

No complaints from my wife, but she really doesn't express her opinion much about the bike unless I ask. I have asked and she says the seat is fine.
