Fiddlesticks Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 I know on the Thunderbird this was a bit of an issue because the pillion seat was too narrow and the footpegs were stubby little things. Replaced both and it made life easier. Quote

How was the pillion holding on? The whole thing depends on the right combination of rider, the bike, and how the pillion is holding on. One hand on the rail behind, and the other on a knee works nicely. Both hands on the riders hips also works, but depends on seat height difference. Both hands on the grab rail either side will seem like a good idea, but offers no help during acceleration and braking, and will cause core and upper back discomfort.
