Great if youve got a Jap bike - and a spare £260.

Shit if not.

LMAO at those replies!!,As for this thread those handles might seem ok for a trackbike for the lucky ones who get a pillion but personally what's wrong with the Pillion Pal?I have one and everyone who's been on the back say they feel much better than holding around the waist,Plus think of where the helmets sticking!!.

tappy

Not great if you've got a tank bag.

Plus - when ever I come off I seem to leave suspiciously knee / foot shapes dents in the tank - don't fancy my knees' chances with one of those on...

I forgot to mention i've seen a better design than that already out but I still had the same views of the pillion having to reach around the rider.Have you seen the latest Fast Bikes mag?There's a picture of Moby(journo)riding the new CBR Fireblade&it looks tiny to him so imagine trying to reach around him!.My personal views go from experience of being pillion and now as a rider taking pillions including my now 8yr old son those designs are out the window sorry i'll stick to the well liked Pillion Pal belt thanks oh and you prob can get one for a fiver now too.

  With the latest sports bikes, the pillion sits alot higher than the rider, so I think that is how they are able to reach the bar thingys easily.

  I think they would work OK, unless you are a fat bastard or you are taking my missus on the back, cause she is a fat whinging bitch!

Bugie
Wouldn't want to have a male pillion straddling me to reach those bloody bars!!!
