| Re: extra pillion handles It doesn't say how they're held on. Im assuming suckers? They don't seem a bad idea, but haven't you tried the 'love handles' Love Handles? - SPORTSBIKESHOP ? I'm sure they'd be a lot cheaper, ( cheaper still off ebay ), or a top box with pillion back rest, it's better than having the life squeezed out of you every time you pass the national speed limit sign.

| Re: extra pillion handles i've seen the love handles before but though she would feel more comfortable if her arms were round me with something to grip at the front of the bike, they fix to the bolts at the filler cap on the tank ..........................Sam |

| Re: extra pillion handles Would you not have to lean really far forward to reach them though? Surely you'd be making the rider in front lean forward all the time. Don't look to comfortable unless you're an orangutan. If I felt wobbly on the back I think I'd prefer a top box to lean on. Then you'd have the choice whether to wrap yourself round the rider or not. |

| Re: extra pillion handles I was wondering about the stretching to reach those handles especially if your sat higher than the rider, I don't think it would be any good for me - got short arms! |
 Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........  | |

| Re: extra pillion handles Mrs Wombat refuses to go out on the back of the bike unless I am equipped with my "love handles"... She finds that she feels very secure with them. My 7yo daughter is able to use them too, her arms are too short to go around me, and I would not feel happy with her using the grab rail. |

| Re: extra pillion handles They look similar to the the stuff on that two seater motogp ducati that Mamola uses to take peeps round circuits. Don't look to comfy though  |
