    good idea, and i dare say your rite sly, also gives you somwhere to rest your legs on those long straights while you lean back and have a (ginga) beer.

    Yeah quite possibly I guess but I myself, personally would'nt be bolting that to my filler cap. Get a ventura set up with the optional grab rail, not to mention all the other options that then give you for luggage should you so desire.

    I seem to recall that Sport Rider magazine had something reasonable to say about them insofar as rider manouverability was concerned.

    Bear in mind though, that in the event of a rear ender, your nuts may actually be worse off

    Just heard a couple that made me laugh


    A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

    One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

    As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, 'You know what? 'You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side.

    When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?'

    'What dear?' she gently asked, smiling as her heart filled with warmth.

    'I think you're bad luck... Get the fuck away from me'



    A cruise on the Pacific goes all wrong, the ship sinks, and there are only 3 Survivors; Damian, Darren and Deirdre.

    They manage to swim to a small island and they lived there for a couple of years, doing what's natural for men and women to do.

    After several years of casual s*x, all the time, Deirdre felt absolutely horrible about what she was doing.

    She felt having s*x with both Damian and Darren was so bad that she killed herself.

    It was tragic but Damian and Darren managed to get through it and, after a while, nature once more took its inevitable course.

    Well, a couple more years went by, and Damian and Darren began to feel absolutely horrible about what they were doing.

    So they buried Deirdre.

    Seriously though, it would give me piece of mind that the pillion has somewhere solid to grasp thats not my stainless steel waist and thus, not get distracted practicing braille as seems to have been the case with 2 of the 3 I've pillioned.
    Having someone on the back you like takes away your focus AND the bike doesn't respond the same when I'm being pushed and pulled around in the seat. These things bolted to the tank filler would give the pillion something more solid to hold onto and make them flow with the bike more.

    Wouldn't it?
    from what I seen on that race bike you would need a pillion with quite long arms, as they will be laying on your back to reach the bars .. grab rail behind will be easier to hold on to & stop them pushing into you. guess its a bit harder when they are sitting like a grasshopper perched on the back .. on BB the more sitting postition means you rarely have to hold on ...

    yeah I don't know if I'd want that sort of (potential) stress going onto the top of the tank...I doubt it's really designed for it

    Imagine the stress going on it in an emergency braking (or acceleration ) maneuver..

    Very busy day at the GLC today. Met the Duck01, Chanceyy, and Mr and Mrs Ynot for coffee and Tiger talk, then Chanceyy and I had a most enjoyable scoot over to the Hidden Valley for lunch with Mr and Mrs Sugilite. Real pleasant ride and catch up that

    Got myself that whisper kit, much warmer and quieter!

    Met a bunch of visiting Indonesian harley Riders at ANZA, seems one of them had burnt out the clutch on a 10K machine. They had a support bus along for the trip, maybe he'd tried to tow it?

    That'll be them. Didn't notice any flags but then, they were in Cuba and had all the gear. Tee shirts, jeans, chaps, thin jackets, and looked bloody freezing to me. Mind you, the bus was farkin HUGE and no doubt had a heater
