Get her some mirrors like bicyclists have that attach to their helmets.

In the ols school dazes some guys would tape small mirriors to their shoes to get a peek... maybe she could start a new fashion craze. Or you could mount it right next to the passenger ejection lever

have you mentioned that she could sit on the bike backwards? i can imagine it'd be very boring in short order to be looking at the back of someones helmet all the time.

Put a mirror on the back of your helmet. But truthfully, it's kind of a silly request.

Sounds like she's telling you it's time for her own ride, or, get yourself a REALLY LOUD stereo......................Good Luck

So I see this was a real serious question from you.. So in the spirit of the Forum and trying to help a fellow rider.....

I hit the road this morning....set the cruise control at 65mph dropped the passenger footboards and slid back onto the pillion. The mirrors needed a minor adjustment up, then I could see behind me just fine. I rode about 15 miles like that, till I came to some sweepers and damn near fell off leaning that far out trying to steer through them...

So I guess your Idea about a his and hers set of mirrors will work just fine.

Good Luck.

I don't think its crazy at all. A little help watching for a rear-ender approaching when stopped might be a welcome thing. Nothing wrong with the OL partipating and having a job to do back there. That isn't back seat driving in my book. If its done right its teamwork.

Ever since a Very Very close call with a 1500 lbs Black Cow on a night ride a few years ago...My wife helps watch AHEAD for critters and such. We also have alot of deer and feral hogs in our area.

(Yes I palpated her on the way by.....)

Just saying....
