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.

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.

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.It's not "derailed", as long as the last post relates to the post above it...it's just on a different rail, heading into a more interesting direction

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.It's not "derailed", as long as the last post relates to the post above it...it's just on a different rail, heading into a more interesting direction

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....It's not "derailed", as long as the last post relates to the post above it...it's just on a different rail, heading into a more interesting direction
