#1 | Pillion comfort seat datum

Sat Apr 16, 2022 11:39 pm

Hi, I recently purchased a used RS. My wife finds it comfortable as a pillion. She commrnded the plush ride. She does feel that she slides forward on thestandard seat.

Does anyone know if the passenger comfort seat is angled or shaped differently?

Any other advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the site.
The material of her riding kit might be a factor.
A top box with backrest might help her brace herself.
Give the seat a good scrub with household detergent. Perhaps the previous owner has washed it with a vehicle shampoo containing silicon?
Does she grip you with her knees?

My girlfriend complained about sliding around on the rear seat as well, the top case helped with that but I just upgraded to and aftermarket seat and will see if it�s more comfortable that the stock. Agree with Wessus on giving it a good wash and see it that makes a difference.

the other thing to try is one of those mesh seat covers. I use one in very hot weather and you have to lift to shift...

SE RS,
I am in Sussex and have the Wunderlich seats - very good upgrade. Happy to meet up and see if the pillion seat solves your problem. The seat has a better surface and is contoured to stop sliding too. Message me if you want.

It has 3/4 inch additional padding, so should prevent the forward slide..., though I'd also like to hear from someone who's invested in it to confirm that hypothesis.

The clothing worn can also make a difference. I still remember a couple days of re-learning which muscles to use to "sit-in" on a new RR with a new leather race suit.... Some of the new synthetic suits slip less than others.

If the forward slip is not too great, and Wessie's hard scrub is insufficient, a super-light application of any of the equestrian saddle-stick products might work - just be careful of what one wears for clothes to avoid ruining something fashionable and expensive.
