Riding solo is starting to look alot easier

[Reichpapers]

I’m running into old lady problems (she’s really not that old). Since I bought my bike, she’s been avoiding getting on it with me because she said it would make her back hurt. Last Sunday we go for a little ride. After that we’re in the dealership looking at quick disconnect sissy bars/etc.. She’s willing to pay for everything (pad/bar/plates/light relocation kit). (she makes 3 times what I make) I was starting to feel pressured though. I’m ok with the quick disconnect setup, but don’t like what it does to the turn signal mounts. My Lepera Barebones seat isn’t too happy about the affair either.

That backrest make yur passenger feel alot safer. I'd get a regular two up seat they can be flipped out easy enough if ya really want a passenger.

I have a QD sissybar for the wife as well but hated the turn signals sitting out so far on the posts. My WG has a bobtail fender and I was able to mount the directionals to the license plate/tail light bracket which actually brought them in tighter from stock. Additionally I use an EZ bracket system to mount my saddlebags to the same mounting studs as the sissybar.

The alternatives seems clear. Have her buy you a nice Touring bike.

Mine hates the way the backrests look on bikes like mine. But after each ride, she thinks they wouldn't look quite as bad....especially after I Armor-all the seats. She definitely gives me an earful when I scrape the pipe with her on the back.

I'm still trying to get her on her own bike.

I was wondering,it said You armorall "All" the seats,might prve to be a bit slickery tryain to hold on.

[Motive]

Yeah, it made her hold on tighter...but I figured out, it scares the hell outta her...which wasn't helping in making her want to get her own bike.

[MrMarty51]

UUHHHhhh,sorry for hijackin the thread.
Mine wifey tried riding on the back of the FXDWG and fter the first ride said YOU need to put something on back there that I can hold onto,She would not get back on and I am not a hotrodder type of a rider,She very much enjoys Our rides together now since I installed this real nice sissybar.

.OK.

[Motive]

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy her riding with me, I just hate how tame I have to ride when she's with me.

I'll probably be getting a sissy bar in the near future....
