I finally got my main squeeze on the back of my V65 Friday night. She was complaining about sliding forward on the passenger seat into me, it was hurting her tailbone, she couldn't push back against the rider pegs, Yah, Yah, Yah.
My bike has a Travelcade his and her style seat on it. Frankly, my rump loves this seat.
I see Mustang. I see Corbin. I see $ 400.00+ and I read about people still complaining about bad passenger ride.
Greg sez to take my seat to an upholsterer and have them modify the foam to allow the passenger to sit farther back and deeper into the seat. Within reason, this might be an answer.
What's the answer besides the obvious "don't ride two up" or "get a lighter female with a smaller a-- ,er, rear". Some of you guys have aftermarket seats and ride two up. What do your females say?
Also, what's the scoop on extending rear rider pegs. Does it really help with leg position or is it just a waste of my cash?
I think you're talking about the passenger peg extenders,They give the passenger more leg room (longer extension and wider stance) Check Cycle-istic.com

Dobie can tell you if they work for your Bike as well.
My wife complained of the same thing on all my Magnas , first ,second and third gen. I didn't see the problem until I tried sitting on it my self. Most Pillions or passenger seat are only good for teenage boys picking up girls :smile:.Your main squeeze has a valid complaint. Gregs suggestion is the best way to fix it, but don't just let the upholstery shop cut and recover it without fitting it to suit your squeeze. I built the seats on my third gen to fit my wife and myself better,and we sat on them several times before I got just the right shape. You can see the seats below, there not to everyone taste in looks, but they sure are comfortable..
picking up girls :smile:.
Teenage girls. Hmmmmmm!
Easy boy!! They gotta be 17 here in Texas. LOL
