K9 Pillion Seat

[Money]

Hola, So I put my pillion seat on the bike for the first time the other day smashed it down to get good suction, and took off. Paranoid as usual, I took a look back at a stop lite and the damn thing had slid almost off the bike! I have two questions - how do you stop the seat from sliding around on the fender and will it slide around with a passenger sitting on it too?

Put an ass on the pad to keep it mostly on the fender, and yes, she will prolly slide around a bit, or @ least thats my experience. There are pads that will stick better than BDM but they dont look quite the same. Only true solution is a 2up seat. The p-pad is just another ride in itself, thats what she told me anyways......

What Hman says—-If you ride with an empty pillion pad, it’ll be gone after some miles. In fact I suspect there may well be a stunning number of P-pads/sissy bar pads littered along our US highways.
Put a butt or a heavy travel bag on it to to keep it in place and you’re good to go. Always clean the paint and suction cups of any dust/dirt—it acts as sandpaper from the vibration and will make perfect little 2” circles in your paint, too.

3M makes some clear plastic that you can put on the rear fender to help protect the paint from the dirty suction cups.

And if you get the suction cups wet first they;ll stick better I hear.
Not called lick'em and stick'em pads for nothing.

Interesting, I have had mine on and off for years, mostly with occasionally without a passenger.

Not only has in never moved a mm, I struggle to get it off without using the little tabs one by one all 6.

I always clean my fender and the cups with detailer before I put it on.

You need a good looking seat cover (around 110 lbs)
