    Have started doing some 2up trips with the hand break 
    As her 48kg body is on the pertite side and not a bike savvy girl, this mixed with the sudden unprecited 2000cc G force catching her off gard 
    Is there a belt on the market to hold her to me for the just incasees  any idears on this 

    Thanks again

    Big sissy bar and strap her to it ...lol My young bloke when he was little used to put his hands inside my jacket pocket and grab on that way. If i took off fast or braked hard i would tap him on the knee first.

    I have seen a strap that goes around the rider ( like a belt) and at each side there is a Loop, that the pillion can either hold onto Or put their hands through.
    Not sure where I saw it, so maybe Google it. Check these out on Ebay

    when i got the bike home [day i picked it up ] the bride jumped on the back and away we went......2 blocks and she said she felt she was slipping off the back of the seat.bought a rack/sissy bar and pad..problem solved. now she's happy to be on the back and rarely " holds on " just tucks the knees in.
    i dont think i'd like a strap between me and a pillion,if the worst happens and you end up going down the road and the strap didnt " let go " it wouldnt be ideal.
    just my thoughts.

    Don't really have that problem, never ridden for more than a couple of miles before realising she had fallen off by how fuckin quiet it was.

     

    Luckily my Mr's has been with me through the Aussie 4 stage, the Norton, Ducati Monster stages and finds the Lowrider with a big fat arse seat with a mid height backrest the most comfortable.

    Never had her complain about feeling unstable but She was always complaining on the Monster.

    Personally I would be worried about seperation in the case of a fall and wonder if being "connected" might create some issues. The belt with "Grip Handles" sounds like a good idea.

    Leave her home. That way she can organise a beer and a sandwich for when you get back.
