Handles for pillion? (Hold on Handles)

[Exodus]

Does anyone know where to source pillion handles locally (even Australia)?

I'm looking for something like this for my son:

Would make my wife happier to know that he is grabbing a handle rather than my jacket straps. Cheers!

tale to quasi (in hamilton)
Her sold me some years ago. (love handles)

[Exodus]

No, unfortunately Quasi doesn't stock them anymore...

Any other clues people?

Ducktape them onto the seat.

Ducktape them onto the seat.

That's plain quackers... and I doubt DUCT tape would work any better.

You could fit a pack rack or sports rack - that would at least give something behind to hold onto or fit side handles to. Just a thought.

As was the response.

Not sure if this helps, but on ebay you can get tank mounted pillion bars. Junior maynot reach though...

Use a stretchy - wrap around you and son :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

What about just using a decently thick leather belt around the outside of your jacket?

Some excellent suggestions folks:

Haven't thought about ducttape, only got as far as insulation tape and the colours don't match my kit.

I have a ventura rack, but it only provides superficial support. I encourage my boy not to lean on it.

The stretchy around us both is interesting, but I can't get the picture out of my mind of trying to get the thing around my font pack, and his school bag - visions of Charlie Chaplin.

I have belt straps around my jacket the little guy hangs onto at the moment, but the think leather belt is a good idea.

I've contacted Bayride, but at the end of the day I can just order it from the UK if needed.

Cheers.

I bought one from Wellington motorcycles about 2 months ago. Haven't been able to persuade my daughter to go for a ride yet though so haven't tried them out.

hi dude, I had a suspicion I had some in the shed (prototypes) and I do so if you want them they are yours, no charge.
Just send me a courier envelope and I will send them to you.

cheers

You can get pillion handles which fit on the tank, yes petrol tank, in the UK.
Try searching Visordown
