    Hi all.
    I have just started taking my daughter pillion on my sprint 1050. So far the riding has been good except that she finds the seat is at too steep an angle and she has a tendency to slide down the seat and has to continually readjust her seating position. Does anyone know of a retro-fit seat attachment or cushion/booster type attachment out there?

    Bit of a late reply (sorry) but I have seen several bikes with a non slip covering on the pillion seat not sure where you get it but it might help your pillion.

    Hi

    I have a sprint as well. Let me know if you find anything ,it will probably help my girlfriend as she tends to slip forward if not holding on tight.

    When I had it, I had both seats on my Daytona 955i CE re-padded. For the pillion seat, he formed a pommel towards the front of it, as per the front part of a saddle as used on a horse. Worked well for SWMBO. Motorcycleseatworks at Wyke near Bradford. Excellent work!

    Thanks Steve
    I have had a quick look and the prices seem reasonable. I will have to contact them and find out the low down on materials etc.
    Ride safe. Noob

    A different view!

    I forgot that extra padding raises the seat height!! :eek::oops:
