Korben Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Just though people might be interested in these. I know especially you peeps that take your kids out. Looking to buy some for the sake of my soon to be pillion friend.Found the latest version. Think they are very clever.http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/product_images/motrax_deluxe_lovehandles_1.jpghttp://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcy ... prod/30769 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 bort some of those a few weeks ago, very comftorble for both rider and pillion, def worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) I don't think they're as good as they could be. The comfort bit would need to be at the front of the rider to be of any use, which is a bad idea because thats where the fastenings are. I use love handles for my pillions and find then to be great, but on the odd occasion I've fastened them, I havent pushed the clip in enough but you still hear the click and so think they're secure. Luckily I wear them backwards so if the clip does come unfastened its only under braking and the pillion falls into me.Infact looking at that picture, it looks like if one of the clips snapped or wasn't fastened properly, regardless if it was worn backwards that thing would completely fail!

rennie Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don't fancy them at all! but have never tried, much prefer grab handle or rack and 1 pillion hand round front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 think they are good for kids but a good pillion should brace on the tank underbraking, if your goin hard even a small pillion can weigh a heck of a lot.each to their own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The comfort bit would need to be at the front of the rider to be of any use, which is a bad idea because thats where the fastenings are. the comfort bit is worn at the front, and the way it has been designed means that the fastenings arnt put under pressure, that is taken by the comfort part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Voodoo. These ones are designed to be worn on the front or back. Whichever is preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 oh yes korben!, this soon to be pillion!, we need more info! A woman I have met. Nothing really happening at the moment. Things are having to move very slowly for reasons I won't go into for the sake of her privacy. She is a friends work colleague. Nice girl..... Not expecting anything from it, but it would be nice if it were to. She would fit in well with the rest of the women on here as well. Another 5 foot nothing!!

handyandy24 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Does any1 find side grab rails worse than ones behind the pillions back. I say this as my bro has been on my ninja and my dad zzr and he finds it easier to brace and cope with acceleration with hands behind back leaning forward than on mine where his hands are more at his sides.
