skyline Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 im riding an R type bike (no grab rails u gotta hold onto the tank) and its achully bloody hard to hold onto the tank, is there no like 'tank handles' or anything which can be attached so that the pillion can achully hold someone, as i do not trust pillions to hold on tight enough tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidcooled Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 skyline, sorry but what are you on about? what kind of bike is it? dont you mean grab handles on the rear seat panel for a pillion to hold onto? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Yea I'm kinda miffed too, and an "R type" bike what the hell is that :? , "Race" or "R1" thingy, who know's! But yea these "handles" I suppose would be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 as in like the RR's ie cbr600rr or tzr-r they dont have grab rails and arent designed to have them, the pillion has to hold onto the tank ill show u a pic tomorrow, and basically when the pillion is inexperianced they dont hold on as well :? also its not so much fun for the pillion as they are holding on by there fingertips for the life and not achully inoying the ride :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 but most race reps i know of have grap handles, mostly sculpted into the seat cowl area :? and what they doing holding onto the tank? get their hands round yer waist if there isnt anything else. if it's a bird there are great benefits from doing this 8) :wink: what kind of bike is it you have skyline??

Admin Alex Posted July 21, 2004 Admin Share Posted July 21, 2004 I wouldnt even let someone on my bike if they have to hold onto something near the tank as surely they would have to lean over you :shock: Get some love handles as mentioned if you wanna take a pillion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 ive got a honda vfr 400 r and there aint no moldings are nothing in it. i tryed letting them hold onto me but it wears me out a bloodly lot faster and my nuts get screwed on the tank every time i break :/ when they hold onto the tank yes some of the shorter people do lean over me but if anything it makes it safer for the as there center of gravity is alway forward...
