Your helmet will not hit his so long as you are looking over the shoulder of the corner he is taking.

[FJRider]

Put your arms around him and in front of his leather trousers you'll find a zip Undo that and reach inside. You may need to fish around a bit until you find a convenient sized handle. Just hold onto that and his riding will be as smooth as silk.

Cutting the bottom out of all the pockets helps in this regard ... I can assure you ... smooth in the extreme will be the result... Where you go ... "IT" ... sorry... you both go ...

I used to pillion quite a bit on a gsxr750. I just used to pretty much hug him the whole time and put both my hands on the tank to take my weight if I needed to. He used to think I was trying to feel him up cos of where my hands were... lol. Didnt bump helmets much either.

I used to pillion on an sv, which might be a similarish position.

I found holding on to the bar at the back was no good, because I'd still only be anchored at one point essentially.

I also tried the hand/s on the tank and found that ok for when he was breaking, but I could only just reach with my fingers so they got a bit sore, and Neil wasn't particularly comfortable with me doing that either.

If he were wearing a backpack I'd hold on to the straps near his hips, or if he was just wearing his jacket, that had convenient straps on the side to tighten the jacket. Holding on to those meant that I could brace myself better for acceleration/deceleration. These days I'm happy with just my hands on his hips, but at first I really needed the handle.

As for the helmet clunking, to be honest, that stopped when he got used to riding a bit more smoothly when I was on the back. It was more him than me.

Getting used to his riding style will also help, though, so that you can anticipate when he'll go zooom, and activate your core muscles a bit Oh, and holding on with the thighs is also very useful to hold you in place.

Of course, mostly I ride my own bike now. It's just if I'm picking mine up from a service or something that I'll pillion

Get a buddy belt. Large wide belt with loop handles on it that you can grip and it's ideal for when braking and accelerating and is low down and comfortable for both rider and pillion.
Motomail does them I think. Pretty darn good for all around pillioning.
