I need a good aftermarket passenger seat that will

[The Big Red One]

Basically guys I'm trying to find a good passenger seat for my wife that'll keep her from sliding into me during braking. The stock passenger seat angles down too much in the front....now why'd they go and do that???....lol. My wife will appreciate any help we can give her

I think the slope of the factory seat is designed so that the passenger will not slide BACKWARD as easily during accelleration.

You could always take the rear seat to an upholstery shop, and see about getting the padding redesigned, and the seat recovered. Other than that, I could only recommend braking earlier and easier.

My wife won't ride on the back of the Busa anyway, so my hump stays on all the time.

Hmmmm, maybe a custom cut rear Tobin seat might do the trick. When you place the order just let Tobin know what it is exactly you want.



Or you can do it yourself using an electric carving knife following the step in this tutorial

I rode on the back of Raider's bike a while back...he's got a Corbin seat with a backrest...highly recommended by this one-time Busa "passenger"...

PM RaiderDm for more info on which one he bought...

The corbin has a bit of a "butt pocket".

I rode on the back of a Hayabusa once also. I didn't have too much of a problem sliding back and forth since I had one hand on the tank to use to keep me from sliding forward and one hand on the rear brace to us to keep me from sliding off the back during hard acceleration. I had to lock my elbow for that one. Other than that, have her hold on tighter.

on a serious note, my wife often complained of that also, the tobin seemed to cure it.

I have a Corbin w/backrest, but the wife has also learned to reach around me and brace her hands on the gas tank, and also use her legs to squeeze/brace as well.

You can help by braking smoothly when riding with a passenger, so they have a chance to prepare themselves for the weight shift.
