Again I applaud you sir.

I have documented my train of thought on this in my 10cts. thread and wanted to fit mudguard mounted saddle from the classic R25 to R50 series. It is very much more comfortable but my charming copany vetoes it because the pillion cushion is comfie enough she says.
I could have pushed the matter but her sitting close against me does aid control of the bike. Espacially slow going is imo múch easier with the passenger moving with you like a backpack.

Still though, chapeau to you! It sure looks the dogs bollocks.

Thank you Petrus, appreciated. Good luck with your Pillion exploits.. My wife won’t join me but my Daughter (pictured) loves it, especially the grab bar.
