    Question Handles for pillion? (Hold on Handles)

    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!

    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.
    Ride it until the wheels fall off...

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

    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.

    UPDATE; Bjorn at Bayride is sending me this: http://ninja250r.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/m090.jpg - thanks Bjorn...
